Olivier Giroud at AC Milan is a success. Since the Frenchman joined the Lombard capital in 2021, he has quickly been able to forget Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s physical problems to establish himself as the Rossoneri’s number 1 scorer. At Milan, Giroud has 43 goals and 19 assists in 110 matches, all competitions combined.
In Serie A, the 37-year-old 2018 world champion is well on his way to achieving his best score since he is only three goals (10) away from his record achieved last season (13).

“I don’t yet know what will happen in the future. But I know that I feel good here and that at AC Milan I have done great things. Our story is a love story. With the club, we have not yet discussed the subject of extension, but we will see and we will decide later. The most important thing is to stay focused on the team’s goals.”he declared, before confiding that he had other exit doors, in addition to the MLS.
“There are also other countries, at the end of the season there will be more opportunities and I will make my decision. As a footballer and as a father. » Finally, when he hung up his boots, Giroud admitted that he would like to stay in the football world, but not as a coach. “Yes, I would like to be a sports director. Taking care of the first team, the youth sector, the transfer window: all this gives an overview. I certainly won’t be a coach, too much stress… (laughs)”. The message got through.
