Inter to agree a deal for captain Mauro Icardi.
Serie A rivals Napoli have recently been the most likely destination for the 23-year-old, should he decide to leave, and have offered numerous deals, each time with an increasing amount of money.
According to Corriere dello Sport, however, Arsenal will submit a bid for the striker in the hopes that around €30-35 million in cash plus French international Giroud is enough to convince the Nerazzurri to let him go.
Giroud was one of Les Bleus’ key men in their Euro 2016 campaign, appearing in all nine of their matches and scoring three goals.
This new bid is a variation to a previous one presented by the Gunners worth €60m, although the overall cost is about the same.
Giroud was included in a possible transfer for former Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain early on in the summer window and was given an estimated value of €20-25m.
Arsene Wenger and the rest of the club’s management will have to move quickly, however, as Icardi is set to hold contract renewal talks soon.
