But according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement has been reached.

Giroud‘s proposed contract will be valid until December 2025.

The Frenchman is yet to officially sign, but his deal is close to being completed.

Giroud has spent the last three years with AC Milan.

So far this season he has scored 14 goals and provided nine assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.

Prior to joining the Serie A giants he spent three years at Chelsea, where he won the Europa League, Champions League and FA Cup.

But arguably his most memorable spell was with Arsenal.

Giroud joined the Gunners in a £9.6million transfer from Montpellier in June 2012.

He went on to make 253 appearances, scoring 105 goals and providing 41 assists.

Giroud has also established himself as a France legend over the years.

Giroud told TéléFoot: “I’m not planning beyond the short-term. The most important thing is to be fit and competitive, these Euros are an objective.

“We nearly got it in 2016, and it is a trophy that I would love to win with France.

“It will maybe, probably, be my last competition, but I can’t tell you what will happen after.”
