Currently, Chelsea face a heavy traffic on the attacking side of their squad. Thomas Tuchel can use Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi, and there exist persistent rumors around Harry Kane joining The Blues. However, Tuchel decided to extend Olivier Giroud’s contract. But the 34-year-old striker is not content with his situation at Chelsea and desires to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. According to Sky Italia, Giroud’s next destination is Serie A. It seems he has agreed on a two-year deal with AC Milan worth €3.5 million a year plus bonuses. After playing just 17 games in the last Premier League season with Chelsea, the French striker hopes to feature regularly for I Rossoneri. 

AC Milan have also shown their interest in two other players from Stamford Bridge: Hakim Ziyech and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
