After the era of the Dutch players and the Brazilian ones, it seems like time has come for AC Milan to focus on French talents. There are already 3 from France at Milanello's senior team: Theo Hernandez, Mike Maignan, and Pierre Kalulu.
Now, it seems that the number of the players can increase as the club set their sights on Olivier Giroud to rotate with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. In fact, the agreement has been reached for some time now: 2-year deal with an option for a third one for 4 million euros net per season. The Champions League winner will now hold talks with the Blues management to free himself from the contract in order to be able to join Milan for free.
Another French player could come from Chelsea as well: Tiemoué Bakayoko. His contract expires in 2022. A loan deal looks very complex, because he will need to renew with the English club in order to be able to join Milan in a temporary basis. But, instead, he could join immediately as his pricetag should not be too exaggerated. For his part, Bakayoko is pushing to return to Milan, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
