AC Milan has reportedly been offered the chance to sign Chelsea star Olivier Giroud in the January transfer window.

Axar.az reports citing Dailystar that according to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, AC Milan has joined local rivals Inter Milan in being offered the chance to sign Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud in the January transfer window. But, the Rossoneri have other priorities, with a move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic being formulated.

Giroud joined Chelsea from Arsenal in January 2017 in a surprise move. The last two years, though, have not exactly been fruitful on a personal level for the French superstar, even though he has won the FA Cup and the Europa League with the Blues.

For much of the last two years, Giroud has played second fiddle to several strikers, with Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi currently ahead of him in the pecking order. As a result, the veteran striker has managed to start just three games for Chelsea so far this season, and his current status has reportedly forced him to consider his future at Stamford Bridge.

The Rossoneri, though, are holding off on making a move for the Chelsea star, who is only likely to be a fallback option for them. Instead, AC Milan is plotting a January move for former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is now a free agent following the expiration of his contract with LA Galaxy.
