Lacazette is Atletico Madrid's Plan B should signing of Cavani fail
Posted Tuesday, January 14, 2020 by Marca.com
Edinson Cavani is still Atletico Madrid's priority in the January transfer window, but should any move for the Paris Saint-Germain fail, the club will look to Alexandre Lacazette.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone has requested a striker and Cavani is out of contract in June, though PSG seem unwilling to part with the Uruguayan despite the likelihood he could leave for free in six months.
As a result, Atletico have began to evaluate other options and Lacazette is next on their shortlist.
The player has been sounded out over a move to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on a number of occasions before.
Atletico would offer Arsenal Thomas Lemar as part of any deal for Lacazette as they only have Alvaro Morata as a recognised No.9.
Nevertheless, any plan to make a move for the Arsenal forward won't be realised until hopes of signing Cavani are completely extinguished.
