Giroud left Chelsea last summer to join Milan in a Bosman transfer.
He explained to L'Equipe: “My arrival in Italy was a bit written through contacts with other clubs before (Inter, Lazio and Juventus). Fate wanted it to be AC Milan. I wanted to discover this very exciting Championship. I wanted to take up a new challenge. Everything was there to give my career a boost.
"The last few months at Chelsea have been difficult. I had the good fortune to spend nine years in the Premier League, moreover in the same city. For my family, for me, it was ideal.
But in terms of sport, I needed something else. I was ready. There was no other way out with Chelsea. I was less and less happy at the end, with no playing time.
"But there was also emotion in this beginning. I am leaving for the best club title with this Champions League, being also the club's top scorer in this competition with six goals."
