Atletico Madrid interested in taking Chelsea's Olivier Giroud on loan

Giroud could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge after just half a season

The former Arsenal striker helped is country lift the World Cup in Russia in summer, despite not recording a single shot on target.

However, according to Sky Sports, the 31-year-old could be on his way to LaLiga.

He scored three times in 13 appearances for the Blues, helping them lift the FA Cup in May.

Should he leave, it is unclear what that will mean for the future of fellow forward Alvaro Morata.

The former Real Madrid striker is wanted by AC Milan this summer, despite only joining last summer in a club-record £70million deal.

Spanish giants Atletico have already made real strides in the transfer market this summer - signing Thomas Lemar from Monaco for £63million.
