Olivier Giroud’s agent has claimed Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and Marseille are all chasing the Montpellier forward’s signature.

Giroud’s representative, William Sola, claims Ligue 1’s leading scorer will consider his options at the end of the season.

Sola also said Giroud is fully focused on Montpellier’s fortunes and earning a place in the France squad for the Euro 2012.

“Teams from the four major championships in Spain, Germany, England and Italy are interested in Olivier,” Sola told Midi Libre.

“Marseille, Lyon and PSG have inquired, but one team’s interest is hotter than the others.”

Sola went on to say while it was ‘in the interest of all parties’ to resolve the 25-year-old’s future, Giroud will wait until the end of the season before talking to other clubs.

“Olivier wants to stay focused only on the season with Montpellier and the opportunity to play in the Euros with les Bleus,” he said.

Giroud, who tops the scoring charts in France with 16 Ligue goals this season, has also been linked with moves to English Premier League club Arsenal and Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.
