The Arsenal striker is a reported transfer target for Barcelona.
According to a report from Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are interested in signing Arsenal hitman Alexandre Lacazette this summer.
The 27-year-old joined the Gunners from Lyon in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £46.5 million, according to BBC Sport, and he has since gone on to score 35 goals in 85 appearances in all competitions for the north London outfit.
Lacazette is a vital player for Arsenal, and Unai Emery will surely resist any approaches for the Frenchman’s signature.
Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona have identified the Gunners hitman as a cheaper alternative to Antoine Griezmann, however, and they could make a move for him this summer.
The Spanish publication suggests that Barca will either make a £60 million for for Lacazette, or offer Arsenal the services of Andre Gomes and Samuel Umtiti in return for the Frenchman’s signature.
Whether that will be enough to tempt the Gunners into selling, however, remains to be seen.
