Pal says 'Inter Milan very disrespectful' to Chelsea striker Giroud

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud feels let down by Inter Milan after the deadline fell with him stuck in London.

A mover to Inter was reportedly agreed, but the Italian club ended their interest towards the end of the transfer window, opting instead for the signings of Ashley Young, Victor Moses and Christian Eriksen.

The Frenchman was first contacted about the move back in December and an agreement for the transfer was agreed, says RMC Sport.

Chelsea were also keen for the move to happen but only if they themselves secured a new forward, and after moves for Edinson Cavani and Dries Mertens also failed to materlialise for the Blues, Giroud stayed put.

The French site quotes a source close to Giroud as saying: "Inter Milan's attitude towards Olivier Giroud has been very disrespectful.

"We've made a player who's behaving in an exemplary fashion and who had given priority to Inter Milan."
