Multiple reports in Italy claim Milan striker Olivier Giroud snubbed an offer from Premier League side Everton in the final days of the January transfer window.

Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com, claim the Toffees approached the France international on Monday, January 30 by offering him an €8.5m-a-year contract.

Giroud currently gets €3.5m per season at the Stadio Meazza and his current deal expires at the end of the season.

However, the ex-Chelsea and Arsenal striker snubbed a move from England, opting to remain with the Rossoneri at least until the end of the campaign.

Giroud is expected to sign a new one-year deal with the defending Serie A champions by the end of the current campaign, extending his stay at the club until June 2024.

The 36-year-old joined Milan from Chelsea in 2021 and has scored 24 goals in 64 appearances across all competitions with the Rossoneri, winning a Scudetto in 2021-22.
