Olivier Giroud had a very positive start to life with Milan and the club have started talks to tie him down to a new contract.

The 35-year-old Frenchman joined the Rossoneri last summer in a deal worth around €1m and many expected him to simply be used as a bench option to give Stefano Pioli a little more flexibility. The 2018 World Cup winner proved them wrong, however, and his 11 goals were key in Milan’s neck and neck fight for the Scudetto with intercity rivals Inter.

As reported by TMW, talks have begun between Milan and Giroud’s entourage regarding a new contract that’ll extend his stay in Lombardy to 2025. His current deal expires next year and the Rossoneri do not want to lose the experienced Frenchman just yet.

It’s likely that the two parties will continue the negotiations for a few weeks before an agreement is reached, but both parties are keen to move forward together.

4 thought on “Milan preparing new contract for Scudetto star Giroud”
  1. Scudetto winners big Star is a 36 year old has been from the EPL..

    Speaks volumes how pathetic serie a is.

  2. Keeping him around until he’s 38?!

    Why not give him a one year extension at the end of his current contract when the time comes and he’s still needed? And then repeat the process the year after that.

  3. His agent has done well to get a 2 year extension if true but you can see why after his contribution last season. Plus he probably starts this season as 1st choice number 9.
