AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud is reportedly heading to Los Angeles FC. The veteran goal-scorer has agreed to a contract with the MLS side for a summer move, so the Serie A side must find a replacement.
Over the FIFA international break, the Italian club reportedly started working on various files to replace Giroud next season. Nonetheless, one agent for a Paris Saint-Germain player is inserting his client’s name as a potential replacement.
Italian media outlet La Repubblica is the second source to confirm the report that Jorge Mendes offered Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan. The Rossoneri are actively seeking a No. 9 following Giroud’s imminent departure.

Ramos’ name entered the rumor mill as Atlético Madrid was sniffing around the situation. However, the former SL Benfica standout’s moving to Italy does have its challenges.
Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo reports that Milan would only consider Ramos on loan or on economically advantageous terms. Furthermore, PSG tend to be hostile to selling players on loan to top clubs, so it will be interesting to see if any move comes of this during the summer months.
