Italian dealmaker Vincenzo Morabito admits they've tried to place Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud in Italy.

Giroud comes off contract at the end of next month.

“In January there was the possibility of bringing Giroud to Serie A," Morabito told Calciomercato.com.

“We had spoken to Juventus and Roma, when Edin Dzeko was seemingly going to Inter. Now his agent is evaluating various different offers. There are three from English clubs, but also some interesting situations in Spain and Germany."

Morabito also says AC Milan came forward.

“At the end of the January window, we met with Milan. The Rossoneri confirmed their interest in Giroud, but also told us they were evaluating younger profiles for their attack. That's the last we heard from them, we'll see for the future."
