Vincenzo Morabito, an intermediary who was part of negotiations between Chelsea and Italian clubs over Olivier Giroud in January, has revealed that the Frenchman’s future is currently uncertain.
The 2018 World Cup winning striker drew strong links to both Inter and Lazio in the recent January transfer window but in the end no deal took place with one of the other intermediaries claiming it was all down to Chelsea and their inability to find a replacement.
Giroud’s contract with the Premier League club is due to expire at the end of this season and due to this, links to Inter and Lazio have resurfaced.
“Given that the seasons could be played in June and July, he could decide to stay at Chelsea for another year. However, everything is still uncertain, between the the end of April and the beginning of May the picture could be more complete,” Morabito explained in an interview with Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.it.
This season Giroud has seen a real reduction in his playing time with him having been limited to just 684 minutes on the field which have been spread across 13 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored three goals.
