ESPN: Milan or the MLS – Giroud’s thinking regarding his future explained

We may well be witnessing Olivier Giroud’s last few games at AC Milan because he is tempted by a move to a team in Major League Soccer, a report claims.

According to what is being reported by ESPN, Giroud is interested in a move to the United States should Milan opt not to extend his contract, which is currently set to expire at the end of the season.

Giroud helped the Rossoneri to the Serie A title in 2022 and has been in excellent form this season too having netted 12 goals in 25 league games, and his preference is actually to remain.

The report states that the 37-year-old would prefer to stay for one more season in Milan because he continues to contribute at the highest level, but he is keen on a move to MLS if the club decide not to offer him a new deal.

Giroud would like to join an MLS side in a major market having seen his former France team-mate Hugo Lloris join LAFC in December.

Earlier today, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that New York and Los Angeles are the two cities where Giroud imagines his future, and he spoke about it openly in January.

“At the end of the season more opportunities will open up and I will make my decision. As a footballer and as a family man,” he said.

The United States can open a new dimension for the future of Giroud, who has not hidden that he sees himself as a director in the future.
