Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is ready to join AC Milan.

Giroud comes off contract at the end of the month and his personal demands to AC Milan fall within their wage ceiling.

Gazzetta dello Sport says he is seeking €4m-a-year net for two seasons.

With Italy's tax laws accommodating foreign footballers, the total outlay for Milan would be €6m-a-year, which is viewed as reasonable by management.

Indeed, there's hope an announcement over Giroud's signing will be made by Milan before the Euros.
