Fenerbahce are maintaining contact with Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

It broke last month that Fener star Mesut Ozil had been helping his new Turkish club in their pursuit of former Arsenal teammate Giroud.

And Fanatik says talks with the veteran, who is off contract in June, has been maintained.

Indeed, Fener are expected to make a first pre-contract offer to Giroud in the coming weeks.

And the veteran is expected to seek to move from Chelsea this summer after being relegated to a bit-part role under manager Thomas Tuchel since the New Year.
