As Olivier Giroud nears the twilight of his illustrious career, the AC Milan striker has hinted at the possibility of retiring from international football after the next Euros. Giroud, 37, who has enjoyed a trophy-laden journey with stints at Arsenal, Chelsea, and AC Milan, is a World Cup winner with France in 2018.

The Euros in Germany next summer could likely mark his last international competition, as he expressed his focus on being fit and competitive for the tournament. Giroud acknowledged the near miss in the 2016 Euros and expressed his desire to clinch the trophy with France. However, he remains uncertain about his plans after the upcoming competition. The seasoned striker mentioned that if France triumphs in Euro 2024, it would serve as an ideal moment for him to bow out.

Reflecting on his career, Giroud admitted contemplating retirement during the 2022 World Cup but emphasized his hunger for titles with his national team. France is grouped with the Netherlands and Austria in the Euros, awaiting the final team, which will be a play-off winner from Poland, Wales, Finland, or Estonia.
