Milan will reportedly meet Chelsea directors today with the Rossoneri confident of reaching an agreement with the Blues for the transfer of Olivier Giroud.
Chelsea have activated an option to extend the contract of the French striker until June 2022, but Giroud could still leave South London on a free transfer.

His agents have revealed Chelsea promised to free the 34-year-old had he received an offer from outside the Premier League.
Milan have been in talks with the 2018 France World Cup winner and have reportedly reached an agreement over a two-year €4m-a-year deal.
The Rossoneri are considering signing Giroud on a free transfer only.
Giroud is willing to move to Milan and according to Calciomercato.com, representatives of the two clubs will meet today to discuss a possible transfer for the former Arsenal man.
Milan need at least one new striker for 2021-22, given that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still recovering from a knee injury.
The Swede is undergoing conservative therapy, but according to a previous report of La Gazzetta dello Sport, he could have knee surgery if his physical conditions don’t improve by the end of the month.
