Olivier Giroud has confirmed he has been approached by other clubs to play for them next season, and has yet to hold talks with Chelsea over his future.

Giroud, who is the top scorer in the Europa League, is out of contract at the end of the season, although Chelsea have an option to extend it for another 12 months.

The France international has been allowed to talk to foreign clubs since January and his lack of first team minutes with the Blues could ensure his departure.

Giroud has started just 17 matches up front this term, of which only seven were in the Premier League.

When asked if he will still be at Chelsea next term, Giroud said: “I don't know. I have no clue about that now. I have to meet Marina (Granovskaia – Chelsea director). They must talk to me before the end of the season.

“Obviously I'm happy to be here. The thing is I just want to enjoy. It's not because I'm 32 and I've won the World Cup, because I don't want to retire. I'm not satisfied with second place.

“I'm very frustrated when I'm not on the pitch, but I just don't want to show it. When you are a competitor, when you've been through difficulties all through your career, you need to keep that frustration inside you and transform it into positive energy on the pitch.

“Trust me, though, I'm not happy to play the second role. That's why I said, next year, I will need to have a more important role to play in the team.”

Pressed on whether he has already had offers to go elsewhere, he added: “Yes but I won't tell you. The priority is Chelsea.

“With what I've achieved here, there is no reason they won't give me one more year. But I need to be happy, also.”

Giroud joined Chelsea from Arsenal for 18m in January 2018, but has seen Alvaro Morata and then Gonzalo Higuain picked ahead of him in the top flight.

The 32-year-old is set to be in the first XI for the second leg of Chelsea’s last eight Europa League tie against Slavia Prague tomorrow night.

Chelsea boast a 1-0 advantage from the away leg, but Giroud insists they can’t take a place in the semi-finals for granted.

Speaking about his impression of the Czech side from the first leg, he said: “Basically, we were very impressed by the quality of this team, the intensity they put in the game.

“We are used to it in the Premier League but, honestly, the first half was very tough, a lot of pressure and good pressing on the pitch. It was a very tough game for us.

“Even in the second half, we had more possession and controlled the game better, but they were still dangerous on the counter-attack.

“We know what kind of team we will face. They're not going to give up, so we must be very cautious. We have to pay attention.”
