Atletico Madrid 'contact Alexandre Lacazette over summer move'

Atletico Madrid have reportedly been in contact with Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette to discuss a potential move to the Wanda Metropolitano in this summer's transfer window.

The 28-year-old has scored nine times in 26 appearances for the Gunners this season, including two goals in his last three Premier League outings following a disappointing run.

The France international has a contract at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2022 although his future in England continues to be called into action.

According to Soccerlink, Atletico sporting director Andrea Berta has reached out to the centre-forward to discuss a transfer ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The report, meanwhile, claims that Arsenal would be open to selling Lacazette this summer should a suitable offer arrive.

The Frenchman has managed 45 goals in 114 appearances for his London club since arriving from Lyon, where he netted 129 times in 275 outings in all competitions.
