AC Milan have expressed interest in unsettled Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.
The French veteran, off contract in June, has been encouraged to leave Chelsea in January by France coach Didier Deschamps.
Deschamps wants Giroud to be playing regular football in the lead up to the summer's Euros.
Sky Italia says Milan have now joined the crowded field seeking talks with Giroud about a New Year's move.
However, city rivals Inter Milan are regarded as favourites for his signature.
