• Frenchman has already agreed terms with Inter until 2021-22 • Giroud keen to move to earn France place for Euro 2020Inter are working hard on trying to sign Olivier Giroud from Chelsea in the January transfer window but are currently prepared to offer only £3.4m (€4m) for the Frenchman. Chelsea want €10m for the 33-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer. The former Chelsea manager has made Giroud his No 1 target and is still hopeful that the two clubs can find a solution. Inter are joint top of Serie A with Juventus after 18 games and face Atalanta on Saturday night. Inter will consider Fernando Llorente as an option if they are unable to strike a deal with Chelsea for Giroud and would then hope to agree a swap deal with Lazio with Matteo Politano going in the other direction.
