Will continue, will not continue? After a complicated experience at Los Angeles FC, in MLS, Olivier Giroud decided to return to France last summer, near Lille, thirteen years after his departure from Montpellier.
After an interesting first part of the season, during which he regularly started, the man who is still to this day the top scorer in the history of the Blues had a more difficult second part. Less successful in front of goal, the former Gunner saw his playing time reduced.
Despite everything, the striker who will celebrate his 40th birthday on September 30 remains in Bruno Genesio’s plans. This is why Losc has started negotiations to extend its lease in the North, which currently runs until June 2026, according to information from 10 Sports.
Extend or stop, Giroud’s dilemma
For now, no agreement has been found between Giroud and the Lille leaders. It must be said that the 98 world champion has not yet made his decision between continuing his career or hanging up his boots. One thing is certain, however: the player will not look elsewhere, still according to the same source. Either he extends or ends his career.
As a reminder, Olivier Giroud has made 43 appearances with Losc this season (all competitions combined), with 11 goals scored and 1 assist delivered.
