Seemingly a lost cause during the January transfer window, Olivier Giroud’s situation at Chelsea has turned around drastically over the past month and a half.
The Frenchman has taken full advantage of Tammy Abraham’s absence, once again finding the back of the net over the weekend to make it 4-0 over Everton.
After the game, the player revealed he was blocked from joining Tottenham when he had the chance, with the same going for Lazio, who were very interested.
And that’s what they remain, as Corriere dello Sport look at the situation once again, and explain the player, whose contract runs out in the summer ‘will soon reevaluate the offers’ at his disposal, as he knows he will be able to get a bigger salary if he becomes a free agent.
Lazio ‘continue to hope’, and with their near guaranteed Champions League status for next season, they could fit right in with his plans.
However, as has been reported before, they ‘will try to take advantage’ of the situation again at the end of the season.
If you ignore the current Coronavirus concerns in Italy, there are few places better than Rome to play out the rest of your career, as Giroud made it clear he still sees himself playing two or three more years at the top level.
That’s exactly what Lazio offer these days.
