DBasia.news – Chelsea is rumored to be extending the duration of Olivier Giroud’s contract. Quoted from Goal, the Blues have already had conversations with representatives of the French striker.
In the transfer market last winter, Giroud was widely reported to be leaving Chelsea. Reportedly, two Italian giants, Inter Milan and Lazio, and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to accommodate the 32-year-old player.
One of the reasons Chelsea wanted to extend Giroud’s contract is to improve his performance after the winter transfer window. Yes, Giroud has began to gain the trust of Frank Lampard after Tammy Abraham suffered an injury in early 2020.
Giroud himself has admitted that he had had the intention to leave last January. However, he failed to move to Italy as Chelsea failed to bring in the striker in the last transfer market.
“I tried it out in January. And it was all over, but Chelsea would not let me go. I can only leave if they find my replacement. I hope that I can leave on January 31, “Olivier Giroud told Telefoot on March 28.
Not only that, Giroud also claimed to have considered the offer he received from Inter Milan, Lazio and Tottenham Hotspur. “Everyone knows Inter’s project is what interests me the most. Lazio and Tottenham are also interested in me. “
