Agent offers unsettled Arsenal striker to Barcelona, Juventus
The agent of Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has offered the striker to Barcelona and Juventus, claims a report.
The French striker is out of contract in June 2022 and reports have suggested the Gunners will cash in on the 29-year-old four-and-a-half years after he arrived at the club.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has since hinted that the club will try to talk Lacazette into signing a new contract, contrary to what this week’s reports had claimed.
He said: “He’s got a contract with us. He played really well the other week. It’s exactly what we demand him to do.
“I am really happy with him and the discussions about his contract will happen soon and we’ll see what happens.”
However, according to Calcio Mercato, Lacazette’s agent is working on a transfer for the striker and has offered Lacazette to Barcelona and Juventus.
Atletico Madrid and Roma have been joined by Monaco in the pursuit of Lacazette, who has scored nine goals in 23 Premier League appearances this season.
Lacazette replacement talk
Arsenal have Eintracht Frankfurt’s Andre Silva on their radar as a potential replacement for striker Lacazette, according to a report.
Calciomercato reports that Arsenal have been looking at Silva as a potential replacement.
The 25-year-old has shown explosive form this season, scoring 19 goals in 21 Bundesliga games for Frankfurt.
Indeed, he has enjoyed a marked rise in form after failing to find a role at AC Milan. The Portugal international spent one year in Italy before signing for Sevilla and Frankfurt on loan.
He then signed permanently for the German club in September last year and has not looked back.
