Juventus are interested in signing Alexander Lacazette.
The French international is into the final year of his current deal at the Emirates, and, to date, there have been no discussions with Arsenal about extending it.
The striker is considering his options ahead of next summer, with several clubs already expressing an interest. Long standing admirers Atlético Madrid are also in the hunt, and Sevilla are also tracking his situation.
And one of them is Juventus, who are now managed by Max Allegri again who has been tasked with helping them regain the Serie A title again. They have made a slow start to the campaign, and, having sold Cristiano Ronaldo, a lack of goals is one of the contributing factors.
Although Lacazette can leave on a free next summer, he could depart the Emirates as early as January for a nominal fee, given how little time there would be left on his contract.
