Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud, has denied he is set to
leave the club for Juventus this summer.
Recall that reports from Italian outlet, Gianluca DiMarzio,
had claimed that Giroud have reached an agreement in principle with Juventus
over a two-year deal at 4.5 million per season.
When asked about the speculation ahead of Chelsea’s Premier
League opener against Brighton on Monday, Giroud told Telefoot: “Italians, they
get carried away quickly.
“I was surprised to receive messages from friends this morning
telling me about this rumour.
“That is far from being the case. I’m a Chelsea player, and
I feel good here.
“I did not have the great end of the season that I did to
leave like this, and not believe in my chances.
“I will fight for my place. But it is always good to get the
attention of these kinds of clubs, it is flattering. But I remain focused on
Chelsea.
“We’ll see what’ll happen in the coming weeks. But there is
nothing signed or done. I prefer to deny it.”
Giroud, 33, faces competition for a starting spot at Chelsea
from summer signings Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, as well as striker, Tammy
Abraham.
