Lacazette waiting for Costa's departure

Atletico are clear who should be their striker for next season. After several attempts, 'Los Colchoneros' will go all out for Alexandre Lacazette, 'AS' reports.

The Arsenal attacker is the La Liga side's main target. However, his arrival is subject to Diego Costa leaving.

Lacazette is well liked by Andrea Berta, who could have signed him three years back. Now, more mature after his time at Arsenal, he considers it is the right time to move on.

The Frenchman's contract ends in June 2022. Arsenal are aware that they will very difficult to hold onto to both of their strikers and they have gone for Aubameyang. That means Lacazette can leave the club.

Atletico Madrid will patiently try to sign the French international. And the Frenchman has already shown on several occasions that he is interested in moving to the Wanda Metropolitano. 

Now, Atletico Madrid must decide whether they want to keep a player with lots of fitness problems this season or whether to go for a forward who has scored 45 times for the North Londoners.
