UPDATE - Giroud leaves Chelsea, new club confirmed

 AC Milan technical director, Paulo Maldini, has revealed that Chelsea

striker, Olivier Giroud, will finalize his transfer to the club on Thursday.

The Serie A side reached an agreement with the Blues over a €2million deal for Giroud last week.

The 34-year-old will now fly to Milan to undergo a medical.

“Yes, [Giroud] should arrive tomorrow.

“Olivier is a champion and a fresh winner of the Champions League.

“He is a very reliable player, what we were looking for since we need experienced players like him. We are the youngest team in Serie A,” Maldini told DAZN.

Giroud will sign a two-year deal, with an option for a third and earn €3m-a-year, after tax, plus bonuses.
