Yesterday, Milan was hit with the renewal news of Olivier Giroud. The entourage of the player gave the following words to Calciomercato's microphones:
"Chelsea have exercised a unilateral option, but in case of offers they will let him go."
The deal, therefore, could still happen. But, Milan has set very clear conditions.
The 1-year extension by Chelsea board has not changed Giroud's intentions to have a new experience away from London. Milan would like to sign the player, but only if he arrives at zero cost.
The hope of the player himself and his entourage is that Chelsea will not in fact oppose a termination of the deal that was just renewed if a concrete hypothesis arises from abroad and not from Premier League clubs. Then, Maldini and Massara would be willing to carry on with the operation. But, if Chelsea ask for a financial compensation, then everything could change.
As for alternatives, the club are ready to look at alternatives. There is the name of Andrea Belotti that is followed by Roma. Dusan Vlahovic is also a profile, but he is valued highly by Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso.
Luka Jovic's track is also very complicated, he will return to Real Madrid after his loan at Eintracht Frankfurt and Ibrahimovic could deny him the playing time he wants to have, if he comes to Milan.
Finally, Gianluca Scamacca has been on the Rossoneri's radar for a long time. He spent the season on loan at Genoa, he will return to Sassuolo now and the Neroverdi do not want to let him go easily, cofirms Calciomercato.com.
