Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà has suggested that French striker and Inter target Olivier Giroud could renew his contract with Chelsea, according to a report from Italian media outlet FcInter1908.it today.
The report details how the 33-year-old Frenchman’s contract is expiring with the West London club at the end of the season, after two years with the side.
The Blues may be willing to offer Giroud a new contract due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, which is expected to have a significant impact on the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Nerazzurri were incredibly close to signing the 2018 World Cup winner in the January transfer window, the report continues, before focusing their attention of Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen, which saw the deal for Giroud collapse.
Inter coach Antonio Conte believes that the Frenchman would be the perfect backup for Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, considering their similar physical attributes and their ability to hold up the play to bring in teammates.
