Olivier Giroud on the 'verge of signing two-year deal with Italian outfit AC Milan'

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is on the verge of signing a two-year contract with Italian outfit AC Milan, according to reports.

AC Milan has hoped to sign the World Cup winner on a free transfer this summer when his contract expired. However, Chelsea activated their option to extend his deal by one more season.

As a result, Milan will be forced to pay the striker's £1million release clause on top of his £3m salary in order to secure his signature for the 2021-2022 season.
