Giroud unceremoniously excluded from AC Milan’s plans for next year?
Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Ronaldo, Ben Arfa, Lassana Diarra… Hannibal Mejbri’s dream eleven!
In recent weeks, Olivier Giroud has made a resounding return to the front of the stage. The French striker shone in several important AC Milan matches against Naples or Inter Milan, and Didier Deschamps did not resist the temptation to call him back during the last international rally after Karim Benzema’s injury, with success since Giroud is marked against Ivory Coast then South Africa.
Returning to Milan for a draw (0-0) against Bologna very disappointing in the title race in Serie A, Olivier Giroud sees things getting complicated after this beautiful upturn. Indeed, the French striker notes from reading the Italian press that his presence at the forefront of AC Milan’s attack for next season is not his club’s number one plan.
Two number nines to double it?
Indeed, while Milan is already negotiating to recruit free Liverpool striker Divock Origi, the Gazzetta dello Sport assures that one of the priorities, in addition to Lille’s Renato Sanches and Botman, is Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca. An appointment would even already be fixed with Sassuolo to discuss a potential transfer. The prospect of seeing two number nines land this summer is not reassuring for Giroud…
Gazetta: #Milan is ready to put 100M on the summer transfer window to recruit the various Botman, Sanches and #Scamacca. For the attacker, an appointment is fixed with Sassuolo. He wants to stay in Italy and said ‘no’ to Dortmund. Inter procrastinate in this case. pic.twitter.com/dfvZelYKKG

to summarize
While he is having a remarkable season with AC Milan, Olivier Giroud does not seem to be part of the club’s future plans… Indeed, the Milanese club seems to be looking for scorers to replace him.
