Alexandre Lacazette has been repeatedly linked with a move to Atletico Madrid in recent years. Even before he swapped Lyon for Arsenal, there were claims of interest from Diego Simeone’s side.
That’s carried on ahead of nearly every transfer since, and now with suggestions of doubt around the Frenchman’s future with the Gunners, the claims are returning to be a regular feature in both the Spanish and English sport media.
AS reported on Sunday that Lacazette is between renewing with Arsenal and a potential move to Atletico. It’s explained the striker wants ‘security’ with the Premier League club, and clearly doesn’t feel he has that with a contract expiring in June 2022.
All the power seems to be with Arsenal, and AS expect them to make some kind of effort to keep Lacazette.
