Olivier Giroud’s contract at Chelsea will run out after this season and limited playing time under Frank Lampard has seen him become a regular topic of transfer reports in Italy.
On December 4th, we covered a report from TuttoMercatoWeb, who explained Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid have identified the France international as a target for the winter market. It was also stated the Nerazzurri are ahead of the La Liga side in the transfer chase.
FcInterNews’s latest report on Inter’s plans for January suggests Antonio Conte’s side have cooled their interest in the Blues striker.
The website claims the Giroud option is ‘becoming less necessary’, which is why they have put him on standby.
That’s because the return from injury of Matteo Politano and impending return of Alexis Sánchez will give Conte more options in the attacking division for the second half of the season. In addition to this, Inter are prioritising strengthening their midfield next month.
FcInterNews’ claims on Giroud come two days after Calciomercato reported the Chelsea player is no longer a priority for Inter.
