AC Milan forward Olivier Giroud, who is France's all-time leading scorer with 56 goals, is considering a move to Major League Soccer at the end of the season if Milan does not extend his contract. Giroud, 37, has been with Milan for the past three years and played a key role in helping the club secure the Serie A title in 2022.
Despite his preference to stay in Milan for another season, Giroud is open to the idea of joining an MLS franchise, particularly in a major market. This decision aligns with the path taken by his former France teammate Hugo Lloris, who recently joined LAFC.
Giroud has had successful stints at top clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea, in addition to various French teams. His impressive goal-scoring record this season, with 12 goals in 25 league games, highlights his continued impact on the field.
On the international stage, Giroud played a pivotal role in France's 2018 World Cup triumph and has represented his country in multiple World Cups and European Championships. His experience and skill make him a sought-after player in both European and American soccer circles.
