On January 10th, we covered claims from Sky Italia explaining that Inter Milan have found an agreement with Olivier Giroud’s entourage and they now need to close the deal with Chelsea.
It was also reported the Blues need €8-10m for the striker, but the Serie A side didn’t want to spend half of what the Europa League winners were demanding.
Later that day, Frank Lampard once again reiterated the west London club could sanction the France international’s transfer this month.
Sky Italia now brings the latest update on Inter-Giroud and they state the former Arsenal man is ‘one step away’ from San Siro.
Antonio Conte’s side have proposed a deal worth €4m plus one million in bonuses, but the Premier League side are requesting €5m plus the same bonuses.
Contacts between two clubs are uninterrupted as there’s constant exchange of emails between them.
Sky also adds there’s a ‘mutual desire’ to close the operation as ‘soon as possible’.
