Roma are 'monitoring Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud' with Edin Dzeko set to leave the club after falling out with manager Paulo Fonseca... while 'Real Madrid's Mariano Diaz has rejected a move to Rome in swap deal for the out-of-favour captain'

Rome are reportedly monitoring Olivier Giroud's situation at Chelsea with a view to a move for the Frenchman as a replacement for Edin Dzeko.

Roma skipper Dzeko has fallen out-of-favour with manager Paulo Fonseca after a disagreement between the pair following the Coppa Italia defeat to Spezia on January 19.

The Bosnian now wants to reportedly leave the club but the prospect of a swap deal with Real Madrid's Mariano Diaz has collapsed after the former Lyon man rejected a move to the Italian capital, according to Corriere dello Sport.
