According to reports, an intermediary has made a proposal to AC Milan to sign Lacazette, whose contract expires next summer.
Lacazette's contract expires next summer and Arsenal don't seem inclined to renew him.
A month ago, David Ornstein reported that he might stay on the team despite the imminent expiration of his contract. One of the reasons is his salary.
On Saturday, Italian media outlet Calciomercato reported that "in the January transfer market, Milan will be smarter to make transfers, looking for a new defender who can replace the injured Kyal." ”
'Maldini and Marsala are confident in the squad they assembled last summer and will only intervene when there is a big opportunity."
"A message from London, more precisely from Arsenal: these days some middlemen have recommended Lacazette, a French shooter born in 1991 whose contract with the gunner expires in July 2022."
"Due to the high salary (around €9 million), the deal doesn't look too much for the san Siro management at the moment."
While Ornstein says it's not impossible for Lacazette to stay at Arsenal, it doesn't seem likely at the moment, especially given the rumours of those shooters who have recently been linked to Arsenal.
Lacazette, who turned 31 at the end of the season, made 14 appearances this season, contributing four goals and one assist. However, he has only started six of Arsenal's 14 Premier League games and a total of just seven starts in all competitions.
He only played the full game in the League Cup against Wimbledon, when arsenal won 3-0 with one pass and one shot.
There were reports in October that Mali was sick and sidelined, but he hasn't been in Arsenal's matchday squad since September and the club hasn't mentioned him.
Mali's short career at Arsenal looks set to come to an end. Nearly 50 days ago, Arteta said he couldn't play because of illness, but hasn't been mentioned since.
The 28-year-old centre-back was loaned by Arsenal from Flamengo for £7.2 million, followed by Arsenal paying another £5.4 million, but he was never worth more than £6.3m.
While Arteta has "purged" a number of Emery-era players, Mali was brought in while he was coaching, although Edu was more involved than he was.
When Arsenal paid such a high transfer fee for it, it caused a lot of concerns, and his performance on the pitch proved that those concerns were justified.
In the 19-20 season, an ankle injury left him out of 31 games, and a calf injury earlier this year left him out of six games. He has only made a total of 39 appearances, 22 of which are starters.
At the end of November, Brazilian journalist Gustavo Henrique reported that flamenco insiders revealed that they hoped to sign mali back.
Amid speculation about Mali's future, the journalist from Rio said flamenco wants Mali back, but it's not a simple deal. It's no surprise that rumors surrounding his future are starting to ferment. In the past two months, Mali has become one of the players who are completely insulated from Arteta's lineup. His last appearance in the Premier League squad was against Burnley on 18 September, and he has only made one start in the League Cup since then.
He has 3 1/2 years left on his contract and if the current situation continues, he has no reason to stay longer at Arsenal.
In addition, next summer window, Arsenal will have a number of out-of-town centre-backs returning to the team. Mavropanos may join Stuttgart, but Sarriba will return. Ballard and Clark have performed well this season, although the former will be sidelined for a while due to knee injuries.
If Mali are unable to make the squad now, it will be even more difficult in the event that multiple players return in the new season.
He had a successful experience in flamenco and therefore may return to his old club.
