Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has suggested to Football.London that Alexandre Lacazette will not be offered a new contract anytime soon.
Alexandre Lacazette situation
Lacazette is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season.
No new deal is in place.
This means that the 30-year-old will become a free agent in the summer of 2022.
Mikel Arteta’s verdict
Arsenal boss Arteta has said that he is happy with Lacazette and how he is performing.
However, the Spaniard has said that the Gunners will not make a decision on the future of the former Lyon star until the end of the season.
Arteta told Football.London about Lacazette: “What I can say is I’m really happy with what Laca is doing and that’s it. We’re not going to be talking about any of that until the end of the season.”
Alexandre Lacazette’s Arsenal exit inevitable?
In our view, it is very likely that Lacazette will leave Arsenal as a free agent.
If Arsenal were keen on keeping the striker, then they would have sorted out a deal by now.
We do not think that Lacazette is going to wait until the end of the season to see what Arsenal do.
In our opinion, the striker’s agent will surely be looking at potential new clubs for his client.
La Razon reported this month that Lacazette has decided to leave Arsenal and join Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2022.
