Olivier Giroud, 36, is perhaps in one of the best periods of his career. Milan’s valued striker with 8 goals and 4 assists in all competitions this season and in wonderful form.
Today (Saturday) Giroud received a great compliment from an unexpected source. Liverpool brakeman, Virgil van Dyckadmitted that Giroud was the player he had the hardest time guarding: “I feel like I’m guarding him but he finds a way to score, whether it was with Arsenal, Chelsea or France. He’s the guy who always scores in front of me.”
Giroud scored two goals and scored three more since the beginning of October, when the record came in 0:4 against Salzburg where he scored a double and scored twice. For comparison, in all of last season he scored 14 goals. Therefore, according to the “Gazzetta dello Sport”, Milan intends to offer him a new contract.
The Frenchman, who is included in the expanded squad for the World Cup, is expected to agree on a one-year contract extension for $3.5 million, thus remaining in Milan until the end of 2023/24. Last season he won the Italian championship with the team.
