Olivier Giroud, whose contract was extended by 1 year by the Chelsea board, still remains the first target for AC Milan's mercato plans in the attack this summer.
In fact, according to recent reports from SportMediaset, the renewal was an option for Chelsea who chose to exercise it in order to prevent him from moving on to join other Premier League clubs for free.
But, it cannot be excluded that Marina Granovskaia made the move because the London-based club is looking to raise some funds. So, a small compensation fee may be needed to convince Chelsea to offload Giroud to San Siro.
