OGC Nice could make transfer move for Chelsea player

French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice could make a summer move for Chelsea player Olivier Giroud according to their president Gauthier Ganaye.

The Nice supremo made this known in an interview with popular French media outlet Telefoot as he said that the transfer is a possibility ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

Ganaye was also quick to point out that his current salary is expensive.

Olivier Giroud has been linked with a return back to his native France this summer though Chelsea are still hopeful about keeping him at the club beyond his current deal.

The 32-year-old has few months left on his present contract at Chelsea though the West Londoners have the option to activate an additional year clause in his Chelsea deal to take him until 2020 at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea signed Giroud from London rivals Arsenal at the start of last year after they paid around £18m for his services.

Giroud went on to sign an 18-month contract with Chelsea until this summer with the option of another year.

The French striker has grown frustrated at the lack of playing time with Chelsea this term and he’s seriously contemplating a new challenge in his urge to play regular football at the top once again.
