Sky (via MilanNews) are reporting that the Rossoneri are serious for Giroud, so much so that in the next few days a meeting is planned between the Milan management and the Frenchman’s entourage to talk about the potential operation.
The centre-forward is on a contract which is about to expire with Chelsea and therefore he would land in Italy on a free transfer. It has been rumoured for weeks that Milan are looking to replace Mario Mandzukic with a more physically reliable player, in order to give some much-needed support to the injury prone Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur meanwhile, Giroud to Milan is a done deal and the 34-year-old will earn €7m net over a two-year contract, therefore penning a deal worth €3.5m per season.
