Atletico Madrid 'plotting free transfer move for Alexandre Lacazette', with Arsenal forward 'still in contact with the Spanish giants and set to run down his Emirates contract'

Atletico Madrid will reportedly try to capitalise on the impasse between Alexandre Lacazette and Arsenal to sign the Frenchman as a free agent this coming summer.

Lacazette's five-year deal expires at the end of June 2022 and he could leave the Emirates for free should he opt to run down his contract.

The 30-year-old will be allowed to discuss terms with other clubs from January ahead of a possible move next summer and Atleti are keeping tabs on the former Lyon striker as Diego Simeone looks to bolster his attacking options.
