According to a rumor from England, AC Milan are looking to recruit a replacement for Olivier Giroud this winter.
Like his partner in the French team Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud sees his contract end on June 30. And he too could well have a change of scenery this summer. In any case, the possibility cannot be ruled out and the leaders of AC Milan have understood this, having been prospecting in the attackers’ department for several months now.
While several names are already being mentioned for next summer, like Jonathan David, Benjamin Sesko, Joshua Zirkzee and Serhou Guirassy, the Rossoneri are considering taking action this winter, according to the Daily Mail. Milan management would try to secure the services of 31-year-old Newcastle striker Callum Wilson before the transfer market closes, the English media suggests.

Fabrizio Romano denies
However, the story is different on the side of the transfer window specialist, Fabrizio Romano. The latter assures that Callum Wilson will not join AC Milan this winter. Lombard decision-makers would have other priorities. Good news for Olivier Giroud, who should therefore retain his starting place for some time, he who is having another great season with 11 goals scored and 8 derived assists delivered in 25 appearances (all competitions combined).

On the other hand, next summer, there is no doubt that the residents of San Siro will work to recruit a top scorer. For his part, the Blues’ top scorer could be tempted by an experience in MLS, according to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport.
