Against all expectations, striker Olivier Giroud (34 years old, 31 appearances and 11 goals in all competitions this season) extended his contract with Chelsea until June 2022 on Friday. Excellent news for the London club who could not imagine another scenario.
“Olivier has been a pivotal part of so many great moments for this club, from his contribution to our FA Cup victory in 2018 to his 11 goals on the way to Europa League victory in 2019. He continued to score goals important, and we will never forget his jewel against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. With so much to play, there was only one decision to be made when we exercised the option to extend his contract in April “, explained the general manager of the Blues, Marina Granovskaia, on the site of the club.
An extension as a reward for the French or simply a way for Chelsea to recover a sum of money on a possible transfer from the former Montpellier, followed by AC Milan? Case to follow.
