“I will certainly regret not playing in the national team anymore, but it is time to make room for the younger ones,” Giroud told L’Equipe. Giroud made his debut for the French national team in November 2011 and has played a total of 131 matches, scoring 57 goals and providing 16 assists. During his time with the team, he helped France win the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League.
It has also been reported that Giroud will leave Milan at the end of the season as a free agent and join an MLS team in Los Angeles. He has signed a contract until 2025, with an option for an additional year. This season, he has appeared in 46 matches in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing nine assists. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is currently €4 million. To put this into context, the 2024 European Championship will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14. The top two teams from each group, along with the four best third-placed teams, will qualify for the round of XNUMX. The playoffs will follow an elimination format, with the losing teams eliminated from the tournament.
