The forward was going to be a free agent this summer and was very close to Inter in the January transfer window.

According to the Daily Express, signing a new one-year deal at Stamford Bridge has by no means secured his future, it just guaranteed Chelsea won’t lose him as a free agent.

Inter and Lazio are still ready to pursue the 33-year-old France international.

They are joined in the race by Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur, which would mean his family didn’t have to leave London.

Lazio director Igli Tare visited Giroud in January and said recently he had got the idea the player wanted to remain in the English Capital, as his family has been there since the move to Arsenal in 2012.
