It has been only few days since the opening of transfer window and three clubs have formally approached Olivier Giroud for his signature that has left the Frenchman in a fix
Olivier Giroud enjoyed a successful 2011/2012 season at Montpellier helping his side to win the Championelle for the first time in club’s history. Excellent form of the France international has caught the eye of many clubs who are keen to sign the player
from Montpellier.
Several clubs have scouted the 25-year-old striker last season. According to reports, three clubs have already approached Giroud in last few days who are very serious in their pursuit of the striker and are willing to meet the demands of Montpellier.
French media has revealed that first offer for the Frenchman came from English Premier League outfit, Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 who are desperate to strengthen their squad before the start of next season. However, Olivier Giroud would not want to join a side who
endured a poor 2011/2012 season.
Second offer came from Europa League winners, Atletico Madrid who have been following the striker for some time now.
Third club, which formally approached the Frenchman, is the cash-laden Spanish side Malaga. Malaga are desperate to strengthen their squad before the start of next season as the departure of Ruud Nistelrooy has left a hole in the team. In addition to that,
Malaga would appear in next edition of Champions League so they need proven strikers and they have identified Giroud as the prime target.
Opportunity to play in England is tempting for the player but to play in a club which ended last season just above the relegation zone would be tough for Giroud, especially after winning Championelle.
Prospect of playing in Spain attracts the player and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 as he would get more opportunities in La Liga to establish himself as a world class striker. Giroud could still end up with Montpellier
in the end which would be really disappointing for interested clubs.
