Agent: Giroud's transfer move depends on Chelsea finding a replacement

Vincenzo Morabito, an intermediary for Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud, has confirmed that several clubs are keen on signing him before the transfer deadline.

The 33-year-old French international striker has drawn links to clubs both in England and abroad, namely in Italy, with Inter among those keen on bringing him in.

Giroud's contract with Chelsea is due to expire at the end of this season and having found playing time limited, the player is seemingly keen to move away, especially give the European Championship's are coming up and he wants to be part of the France team.

Morabito firstly spoke on if Giroud is weighing up a move to Inter's fellow Serie A side Lazio and also name dropped several clubs who have shown an interest in signing him up.

“Is Giroud evaluating Lazio? Yes. There are teams like Manchester United, Inter, Newcastle and Tottenham on him and he is also considering this option,” he explained to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia.

Morabito then went on to reveal that for the time being a move to anyone looks difficult as Chelsea seem unwilling to let him go unless they find a replacement.

“What does a move depend on? For now we are completely blocked, it depends on Chelsea finding a replacement. It cannot be excluded that a player who can free Giroud may arrive. We still have a lot of time.”
