Arsenal striker offered to AC Milan?

AC Milan have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette in January.

The Frenchman has entered the final nine months of his deal. He can negotiate a pre-contract with a foreign club in January.

It has become clear that the Gunners have no plans to renew his stay, and Calciomercato claims that he could be sold.

The north London club could accept a cut-price deal in January rather than losing him for free at the end of the campaign.

Atletico Madrid have already been credited with an interest in signing him, and the Rossoneri have now been offered his services through his agent.

Any exit for Lacazette could coincide with the Gunners signing a replacement as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the only other senior striker.

The club captain will be away in January due to African Cup of Nations, and that would leave a huge void to fill up front if Lacazette leaves.

The Gunners have been linked with a mid-season move for Sevilla's Youssef En-Nesyri. Lacazette has been fancied to move the other way.
