While his future appears most uncertain, Olivier Giroud could leave Milan for an exotic destination.
At the end of his contract next June, Olivier Giroud is in the dark. If he likes Milan, where he panics the statistics as rarely, the top scorer in the history of the French team is still waiting for a sign from the Lombard club, which does not seem in a hurry to open discussions around a contract extension.
“ I don’t know yet what will happen. But I know that I feel good here and that I have done great things here. It’s a true love story. We haven’t talked about extension yet, we’ll see and we’ll decide “, he recently confided, opening the door to a departure, in MLS or elsewhere: “ There are also other countries, there will be more opportunities at the end of the season and I will make my decision as a footballer and a father. »
In the footsteps of Dimitri Payet?
Italian agent Vincenzo Morabito, who works with Giroud, also revealed that the former Gunner had been approached by Saudi Arabia last summer. And if he rejected their advances, the situation could be different this year. “ He feels good in Milan, but he also has to think about his family. He refused money from Saudi Arabia because he is not too interested in money and because he has a good contract at Milan, but I think we have to wait. In the meantime, he will give everything for Milan “, he explained to Italian radio.
But according to transfer specialist Ekrem Konur, another destination should be taken into account: Brazil. According to him, the Savoyard enjoys a good rating there and several local Serie A clubs have checked his name for next summer. A year after the departure of Dimitri Payet for Botafogo, is another Blue preparing to join the country of football?
