AC Milan reached an agreement to extend the contract of Giroud - Report

Skysport reporter and football transfers expert Gianluca Di Marzio reported that veteran French striker Olivier Giroud agreed to sign a new one-year contract with Milan after Tuesday's meeting. According to what was reported by Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on Sky Sport 24, AC Milan directors have reached a verbal agreement to renew Giroud‘s contract. The agents, after today’s meeting at Casa Milan with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, informed the player of AC Milan’s offer, which is around 3.8 million euros plus bonuses. The striker, very happy, has accepted. Therefore, a verbal agreement has been reached, with the signature that can arrive on the eve of the Champions League match against Napoli. In the next ten days, the deal will be put down in writing and the French striker will be tied to the red and black colors until June 2024. Representatives of French player Vincenzo Morabito met with the Rossoneri management at Casa Milan to try to agree on terms for a new deal for the 2018 World Cup winner, whose current contract expires in three months. AC Milan and Giroud are ready to continue together after today's meeting between the Frenchman's agents, Michael Manuello, and intermediary Vincenzo Morabito and the Rossoneri management. The meeting between the two parties was positive, with Giroud keen to continue his adventure with Milan, and the 36-year-old reportedly rejected a €10m bid from Everton in the January transfer window, signaling his desire to stay with the Lombard club. Di Marzio confirmed that Dero had verbally agreed to sign a one-year contract with Milan, tying him to the club until June 2024, worth around €3.8m plus add-ons. The Frenchman is expected to sign his new contract with the Rossoneri ahead of the Champions League first-leg clash with Napoli, which is scheduled for April 12.
