Olivier Giroud is on top of AC Milan's wishlist for the coming mercato because the managers of the club appreciate his wide experience and qualities which he can still offer despite his age.
The 34-year old Frenchman could really end up at the San Siro even after his recent contract extension at Chelsea.
As reported by Tuttosport, the Rossoneri would like to close the deal to sign Giroud as soon as possible. In this case, yesterday, there would have been contacts with the player's entourage.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara did put on the table a two-year contract with 4 million euros as salary with the possibility of inserting a third year option.
If total agreement is reached over these terms, then, Giroud's entourage will work with The Blues board in order to free their client from his current contract.
The newspaper claims that if the negotiations do take longer to finalise, then it would not be excluded that the Milanese board focuses on other targets.
Edin Dzeko was proposed to AC Milan and would be a good addition, but he would cost more than Giroud, concludes the source.t
