Olivier Giroud’s move from Chelsea to Inter Milan could take shape in the coming days.
RMC Sport reported on Wednesday that the striker’s agent will travel to Italy on Thursday to ‘finalise the deal’.
Later that day, we carried a report from Sportmediaset, who explained the 33-year-old could have a medical over the weekend and the Blues will receive compensation of €4.5m plus €2m in bonuses.
Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio made a trip on London on Wednesday to negotiate a deal with the Europa League winners for the France international.
According to Sky Italia, the Serie A club’s chief has obtained the ‘OK’ from the former Arsenal man.
Giroud has struggled for minutes under Frank Lampard’s guidance and in order to seal the switch to San Siro, the frontman is ready to sacrifice €1m in wages.
Chelsea have over two weeks to cash in from Giroud’s sale and failure to do so will see them the player leave Stamford Bridge for nothing in the summer, but it’s likely the wait won’t be long now.
