Next summer, the Frenchman will be a free agent.
The 29-year old's contract at the Emirates is due to expire in June 2022, making a departure very likely unless Arsenal want to risk losing him as a free agent.
That would be a remarkable turnaround, and according to Football-italia, the Gunners paid Olympique Lyonnais €53m plus bonuses in 2017.

So far, after 34 competitive matches for Arsenal this season, Lacazette has netted 13 times and recorded three assists.
According to ESPN, The Sun and others, negotiations for a new contract haven’t even started yet, leaving the door open for long-term admirers Roma, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
