Barred by competition with Chelsea, Olivier Giroud will continue his career at AC Milan. This Saturday, the 34-year-old French striker has signed up for the next two years with the Lombard club, until June 2023.
A 2018 world champion arrives at San Siro. In lack of playing time under the orders of Thomas Tuchel, Olivier Giroud leaves Chelsea for AC Milan. In search of an offensive reinforcement of experience since the departure of Mario Mandzukic, the Lombard leaders turned to the French striker.
The Rossoneri have paid the sum of 2 million euros, including 1 million euros of bonus, to buy the last year of the contract of the tricolor center forward of 34 years. After passing the medical examination, the former Arsenal player signed a two-season contract in favor of the team coached by Stefano Pioli, that is until June 2023, a commitment with an estimated annual gross salary of 5 millions of euros. The details of this lease have not been confirmed by the club, which indicates that the native of Chambéry will wear the number 9.
Landed at Stamford Bridge in January 2018, Olivier Giroud remains on a difficult 2020-2021 season with 11 goals in 31 games in all competitions, for 4 goals in 17 Premier League games. In the tradition of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the former Montpellier will bring his experience and will aim for a start with the last runner-up of Inter Milan in Serie A.
