Olivier Giroud, is it over?

Now four months from the end of his contract with AC Milan, Olivier Giroud is still in the dark. If he shows formidable efficiency in Serie A, to the point of being the most decisive attacker in the championship with already no less than 11 goals and 8 assists, the Lombard club does not seem in a hurry to offer him a 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 about his future, clearly 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. »

Haller, new priority for Milan

Italian agent Vincenzo Morabito, who works with Giroud, for his part revealed that the former Gunner had been approached by Saudi Arabia last summer and that 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 whispered on Italian radio.

For their part, the Milanese leaders do not seem to make the French world champion their priority. According to journalist Carmello Dimitri, the Rossoneri are working hard to find a successor and have made Sébastien Haller, the hero of the last African Cup of Nations won by the Ivory Coast, their priority. Milan will, however, not have to spend money since the former Auxerrois is under contract until 2026 with Borussia Dortmund, who would demand at least 50 million euros to let him leave.
