Olivier Giroud could try an adventure in MLS, despite AC Milan’s desire to keep him.
Olivier Giroud is stainless, indestructible and, like good wine, seems to get better with time. AC Milan, with whom he has already scored 12 goals and delivered 7 assists this season, is well aware of this. It is for this reason that the Rossonero club is approaching the end of the French striker’s contract this summer with a mixture of hope and fear. The hope is to convince Giroud, 37, to extend for an additional season, by promising him playing time and reinforcements capable of allowing the team to fight with the interior neighbor, who is prance in top of Serie A next season.
According to Daniele Longo, the Calcio Mercato journalist, the top scorer in the history of the France team loves Milan and wearing the colors of this historic club. It is for this reason that at this time, a new freelance in Lombardy would always be his priority if the discussions go in the direction he hopes in sporting and financial terms. On the other hand, and this is what Longo specifies in his article, the Milanese are not alone on the issue. If Olivier Giroud and his family have so far ruled out attempts to approach Saudi groups, the former Montpellier resident would not be insensitive to the offers reaching him from the United States.
Life experience and retraining?
Beyond the sporting challenge, obviously lower than that of playing in one of the best championships in Europe, it is the life experience that would appeal to Giroud and those close to him. The transalpine media also explains that some of the Major League Soccer (MLS) teams would also offer him a future retraining in a manager position.
In any case, the main information at the moment is that no decision will be made, nor any negotiations started, before AC Milan’s last Serie A match on May 26 against Salernitana. Fresh as a roach, Giroud will then have to make what will undoubtedly look like one of the last significant decisions of his brilliant club career.
