Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 claim that German Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich are keen on signing France international Olivier Giroud from Montpellier Herault in the summer transfer window
The performances of France international Olivier Giroud have attracted interest from a host of European sides. Reports in French and German media now claim that German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich are keen on bringing the prolific striker to the Allianz
Arena in the summer transfer window.
Giroud is currently the topscorer in Ligue 1 this campaign with 16 goals. In Montpellier’s 3-0 defeat of Ajaccio this Saturday, the Frenchman provided an assist and as has become customary, scored a goal. La Paillade are currently vying for Ligue 1 Championelle
this campaign and the tall striker’s performances are one of the many reasons behind Rene Girard’s side’s position in the Ligue 1 standings. S
The likes of Newcastle United, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 are already monitoring Giroud’s performances which means that Montpellier would face a fight on their hands in order to keep hold of their prized asset.
Bayern Munich on the other hand, saw their long-term target, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 (Borussia Moenchengladbach) put his stock to reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund.
Now, the Bavarians are keen on making a big signing and staff member of the club, Bjorn Andersson thinks that Giroud might be the player they need.
According to Swedish daily, Aftonbladet, Bayern Munich are keeping eyes on young Scandinavian striker John Guidetti. The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Dutch Eredivisie side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 from Manchester City.
While talking about that particular player, Andersson also spoke of his club’s admiration for Olivier Giroud.
“We have (Ivica) Olic. But we need strikers this summer. At present, we follow Guidetti and an attacker in Montpellier, Giroud.”
The revelation is by no means surprising as after German international Mario Gomez, Bayern Munich do not have a top quality striker.
Furthermore, French players have the tendency to do well at Bayern Munich with the likes of Bixente Lizarazu, Willy Sagnol and Franck Ribery having distinguished careers at the Bavarian club.
Bayern Munich are reportedly willing to offer Montpellier 16 million Euros for the signature of Giroud who has proven his ability to be one of the most lethal strikers around this campaign.
