MERCATO – to reinforce a well-moribund attack, OGC Nice confirmed by its technical director Gilles Grimandi that he thought of Olivier Giroud for next season.
Seven years after his departure as champion of France with Montpellier, will Olivier Giroud find the field of Ligue 1 next season? It's not impossible. Sometimes associated with OM in recent months, the name of the world champion comes back with insistence in another Club of the Southeast: the OGC Nice.
In an interview with Canal +, technical director of the Aiglons Gilles Grimandi confessed to talking about the goalscorer of the Blues with Patrick Vieira. "I know him very well. I know him by heart. I was involved in his coming from Montpellier to arsenal. He will choose his destination. For now, I have not had it, we have not discussed, but he knows the means that we have, explained the former recruiter of arsenal.
"If he decides to come, it is because there is a project that pleases him. This is not possible for anyone today. If he is not happy in Chelsea and he wants to play... We have to take into account all the cases and study them. With Patrick Vieira, we talked about Olivier Giroud, but we did not speak with Olivier Giroud.
Très peu utilisé à Chelsea par Maurizio Sarri en Premier League, Olivier Giroud, 32 ans, sait qu’il doit à tout prix jouer plus la saison prochaine s’il veut disputer l’Euro 2020 avec l’équipe de France. Passé maître dans l’art d’attirer des grands noms sur la côte d’Azur (Ben Arfa, Dante, Balotelli, Sneijder), Nice a une réputation à tenir.
