Alexandre Lacazette (Out)

[El Duderino]

As reported by GOAL Atleti is interested in Lacazette, Arsenal player

The French player has been on Atleti's agenda for years

The price is between 13 and 17 million pounds

YESSSSS

Tier 1?

Laca ain't leaving. He will asked to take a wage reduction and will say no.

He will be stupid though and Simeone and help build back his reputation.

I don't see this transfer either happening. No way they pay us anything thing considering wages Laca earns.

Our club must really think other clubs are stupid and run like us. Just look at the Torreira negotiations last season to know how A Madrid deal will transfers/loans.

Only way he goes is if they club pay off part of his deal. As you say he's not getting the money he's on anywhere else in Europe.

He'll stay and leave on a free imo. Another great signing by the club!

Same source as the other tweet

Just take the money tbh even 5mil, Arsenal have loads of money it doesn’t really matter.

 

[Goonger]

If Laca somehow leaves, it's 99% sure we'll go for Abraham...

No point dreaming of Dolberg or Isak or anybody exciting.

Im not sure with what Dolberg has done at Nice, that's he'd be a more exciting signing than Abraham?

Cadena SER are Tier 2. Seem to be confirming GOAL's reporting so fingers crossed.

This could have more legs than Laca, then...

didn't think it'll get serious i thought it was s**t source if we managed to get 20M euros it'll be very acceptable deal.

 

[berric]

If we find them in the middle that would be around 15m pounds so about 18million euros.

Fair trade given his age, wage, and contract length.

Laca has been linked with Atletico since his last life. Guy is born again and reincarnated and **** and he’s still linked with Atletico.

I want it to happen as well (I want all the players I like to leave) but he’s obviously leaving on a free.

 

[Riou]

It's just never seemed to be quite right here for Laca.

Can't believe we broke our transfer record for him, only to break it again on another striker, not even a full season later...poor bloke probably still wishes he could have just gone to Atletico back in 2017

Anyone taking bets on the stumbling block?

Think it'll be an offer for a loan 6 months with an option to buy. That or he'll refuse to lower his wages.

 

[Rasmi]

Don't want Abraham, but I want Laca out. I'd take €15m and his 180k/week wages saved.

Auba, Martinelli, Balo should be enough for this season. Identify a striker as a marquee signing next summer.

Fully agreed. I don’t mind laca going. But if the club want to invest big on Abraham then it’s stupid and rushed decision. Play balo and martinelli with auba being main man and next summer we have clear idea where we stand with those 2 young strikers

 

[Macho]

Anyone taking bets on the stumbling block?

Our asking price and previous dealings with Athletico.

Also the small problem that this rumour is made up and surfaces every summer.

He’s only 29 and still produces decent numbers compared to many of his peers including Auba last season, he’s right to not take a salary decrease.

Im not sure with what Dolberg has done at Nice, that's he'd be a more exciting signing than Abraham?

Im a big Nice fan, following their every game. Dolberg should not be there, he is way to good. But he is a true 9, if the team behind him cant give him chances he cant do sh*t.
Plus they poorly managed his integration.
Anyway Nice bought Stengs & Kluivert notably to make Dolberg stay since they both were at Ajax. So that he feels better there. So i dont see him coming to Arsenal even though id' love to see him there.

 

[Pepesuave]

Final year of his contract, big wages...I don't see A.Madrid offering more that 7-8M. Might as well keep him

 

[Dutch D]

Honestly, I don't know how he's got on at Nice, but he showed elite potential at Ajax. Lots of quality goals, chips, great movement in the box, good control over the ball, unlike Abraham who seems to have springs in his shoes with half his first touches.

How exactly is that enough for this season?? Unless we bring in another forward or AM it weakens us, doesn't matter whether Lacazette is good enough or not.
Can't rely on injury prone Martinelli and unproven kid Balogun.

 

[GDeep™]

For me he’s a valuable member of the squad, I don’t see the desperation to out him. He’s a squaddy and seems happy with that role.

Like @Macho said though, he’s not going anywhere now anyway, will leave on a free next summer - get a nice sign on fee and a 3 year contract somewhere.

I've never understood when people say "with one less striker and exactly the same people otherwise we will do better than last year"...
