Olivier Giroud is reportedly on the cusp of leaving Chelsea for AC Milan, Gianluca Di Marzio claims.

  • The Frenchman netted 11 goals for the Blues last term, but he was largely a fringe player during the back end of the season.

    The Blues extended his deal for another year, but he looks set to leave the club for a nominal fee of just €1 million this summer.

    The Rossoneri will pay another €1m in the form of add-ons. Giroud has agreed a two-year deal worth €68,000-a-week.

    He has accepted a 40 per cent pay cut to join the Rossoneri, where he would be assured with regular playing time.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic excelled for Milan last term with 19 goals, but the 39-year-old has had injury concerns lately.

    The Swede's game time could be restricted next season. Giroud is being fancied to lead the line for the Serie A giants.

    Meanwhile, fellow strikers Michy Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham are  expected to leave the west London giants in the coming weeks.
