Arsenal Lacazette is wanted by Inter Milan in the event that Lautero Martínez joins Barcelona.
The Catalan club have made the Argentine striker their number one summer target, and have offered several players in part exchange as they try to meet the Italian’s club £100 million valuation.
If that deal does go through, then the Serie A side will need a replacement, and have identified Lacazette as a potential option, having decided that both Timo Werner and Edison Cavani are too expensive.
Lacazette has been having an indifferent season at the Emirates, scoring 9 goals In 26 appearances, and sometimes finding himself relegated to the bench in favour of the younger Eddie Nketiah.
With suggestions that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may now see out his contract in North London, there are suggestions that Arsenal may be willing to let Lacazette go to reduce pressure on the wage bill, and to raise funds for their own transfer activity.
