Before returning to Stade Rennais in the Europa League, Olivier Giroud spoke about his future, which he does not imagine in the French championship…
This Thursday, Stade Rennais travels to San Siro for a prestigious performance against AC Milan, during the first leg of the Euorpa League play-offs. On the sidelines of this meeting, Olivier Giroud spoke in the columns of Ouest-France, which offers a cross-interview between the French striker and his pastor Joël Thibault, based in Rennes and whom the player has worked with since 2016.
The top scorer in the history of the Blues was notably invited to return to the contacts established with the SRFC during the last summer transfer window. Indeed, the residents of Roazhon Park tested the waters last summer with the former Montpellier resident, in vain. The latter did not see himself leaving Milan to return to France. Moreover, Giroud does not plan to return to France by the end of his career.
“It is not in my plans to return there (to France)”
“I have always appreciated Mr Pinault (François-Henri). We were even neighbors for a time in London, and he even invited me to dinner at his place one day, we got on well with our wives too. There was an interest from Rennes, and it is always a pleasure to have this capital sympathy that I have in France, to be recognized there. But it’s not in my plans to return there, in any case, I love Brittany! »confided the Savoyard.
As a reminder, Olivier Giroud sees his lease with the Rossoneri end on June 30. If an extension cannot be ruled out, the 37-year-old striker is giving himself time to think, he who could be tempted by one last experience in MLS.
