Everyday, more reports come out claiming that AC Milan are getting closer to landing Olivier Giroud, the French experienced striker of Chelsea who has an expiring contract soon.
Economically, the forward represents a good opportunity and deal because he would join on a free and then, the salary should not be too much of a problem.
The club's board of directors are keen on the striker and would appreciate his arrival which would mean having another experienced person in the locker room who can still contribute greatly.
Elliott management is actually in favour of bringing Giroud to Serie A, but there are some doubts about the transfer operation, as reported by the newspaper Repubblica.
The reason is that the club does not want to risk having another 'Mandzukic experience' who was paid to add strength and quality to the front line, but has failed and left the team without registering a goal to his name.
Paolo Maldini has in mind a name that has been tempting him for some time now. The Italian sporting director wants to attempt for Mauro Icardi. He is not considered a starter for PSG and therefore, the manager could try to bring him back to Serie A.
Icardi himself denied any rumours linking him to AC Milan, but, Maldini hopes to take advantage of his friendship with Leonardo, who is now the market-man of the French club, and see if an agreement could be reached between the parties.
For that reason, there is some hesitations regarding Giroud, concludes the source mentioned earlier.
