“ A year ago, Giroud scored 9 goals in as many appearances, surpassing both of them. Milan chose Morata and Abraham for their lower financial impact, but the return on investment was not up to par », Underlines the Italian publication. If Milan lacks a scorer of Giroud’s caliber, the Savoyard has had a difficult start in MLS. In ten matches played, the former Montpellier player has not scored a single goal.
