The France international’s contract with AC Milan has reportedly been extended, with Giroud apparently agreeing to continue with the team through the conclusion of the next campaign.

Giroud, who left Chelsea to join Milan in 2021, has made 76 appearances and scored 27 goals.

In place of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has only made four appearances this season after a protracted injury layoff, the 36-year-old has scored 13 goals this year. He has started as Milan’s primary striker.
