Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is reportedly keen on a move to AC Milan when his contract expires this summer, with Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma also interested.

Olivier Giroud reportedly favours a move to AC Milan when his contract at Chelsea expires this summer.

The French international has only started six times for the Blues since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at the end of January and his new manager has only seen Giroud score twice during that time.

Giroud's Champions League form this season has helped his side reach this year's final, scoring six times in his eight appearances in the competition, including a crucial away goal against Atletico Madrid in the round-of-16.

The Mirror reports that the 34-year-old is attracted to AC Milan, especially because of Rossoneri legend Andriy Shevchenko, who is believed to be an idol of Giroud.

Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma are also among the Italian clubs interested in Giroud, who is looking set for a move to Serie A this summer.

Giroud arrived at Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window in 2018 and has scored 39 goals in 119 appearances for the club.
