Maxime Giron`s tenure with Crotone appears to be drawing to a close. The French defender, who turns 31 in September, is reportedly set to embark on a new chapter in his career, though he is expected to remain in Serie C Group C. According to our sources, Trapani, coming off a rollercoaster season that saw them narrowly miss the play-offs, is actively pursuing him.
The Sicilian club`s management faces the urgent task of rebuilding their squad and is focused on acquiring experienced players who can make a significant impact. Giron initially joined Crotone in 2002, following his time with Palermo.
Over recent seasons, Giron has been a crucial figure in Crotone`s defensive setup, considered an indispensable part of the team. In the 2024-25 season, across the regular campaign and play-offs, he made 33 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. Coach Emilio Longo frequently lauded him in press conferences, highlighting him as a cornerstone player and an inherent leader. These qualities have seemingly caught Trapani`s attention, and the club must now decide how and if to make a definitive move for the 1994-born player.
