Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has talked up AC Milan.

The Blues activated a clause on Friday to extend Giroud's contract by another year, keeping him tied to the club until 2022.

Milan and Juventus had been linked with Giroud, and the Frenchman has done nothing to play down those rumours.

"I want to make it clear that Chelsea reactivated the clause in April and they recently announced it to comply with Premier League rules," he said when asked whether the extension changed anything regarding his desire to leave.

"It's fair to remember that I liked [Milan legends] Marco van Basten and Andriy Shevchenko.

"Milan are a big club and one of the great teams in Europe. But, today, I will not talk about my future at the club because I am focused on the France team and the Euros, which is fast approaching."
