Milan striker Olivier Giroud explained why VAR is so frustrating as a player and opened up to the idea of playing in the Summer Olympics.

The 37-year-old Frenchman has just over three months left on his contract with the Rossoneri and still hasn’t decided whether or not to sign a new deal, with recent reports suggesting that he’s tempted by a move to MLS club Los Angeles FC.

Giroud has continued to prove himself a reliable and useful option for Milan this season, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists across 26 league matches, pushing some fans to press the club for a new contract.

Speaking to Canal+, Giroud was asked what he would change about modern football.

“Forgive me, but what bothers me a little is VAR. It takes a long time, they make you wait and despite this they still manage to make wrong decisions. I would like us to find a right way to find some spontaneity again.”

He was then asked about the idea of joining the France squad for the Summer Olympics in Paris.

“I don’t want to take coach Henry’s place. But I think it could be a good idea to call the three he’d like to have for the over 23 players, namely me, Griezmann and Mbappe. Possible? That’s another question.”

Giroud will sit down with the Milan management in the summer to discuss a possible new deal. On Tuesday, it was reported that LAFC were in ‘advanced’ talks with the French striker.
