While OM are said to have their sights set on Alexandre Lacazette, the Arsenal forward would struggle to bring Arsenal to the level of negotiations for an extension of his current contract until next June.
Arriving in the summer of 2017 from the OL , Alexandre Lacazette had an eventful London experience. From an indisputable holder when he arrived under Arsène Wenger , to a regular holder then more discreet this season although in the last matches Mikel Arteta had it associated with Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang , the French international has not established himself as an indisputable element. And at the end of the season, he could well benefit from free agent status as his contract expires at the end of the year. Enough to encourage his clan to look left and right from the winter transfer window in order to prepare for his future while the OM would pinch for his profile as has been discussed in recent days.
A disagreement on the terms of the contract between Arsenal and Lacazette
“Obviously my agents are starting to look a little to the right, to the left. But not until January, I really want to focus on something. Then we'll see what's on offer, whether the challenges are interesting, whether there are great projects, how we are counting on me … There are still a lot of questions, I prefer to wait until January to really position myself. “. confided Alexandre Lacazette during an interview with Téléfoot. And according to 90min reports, OM may well have a card to play with the Arsenal forward. The cause ? Lacazette would demand a long-term contract from its managers to agree to renew its lease when Arsenal 's decision-makers seem to date only be ready to offer it a short term contract. The stage is set and the OM is warned.
