Alexandre Lacazette has reportedly already decided to entertain a transfer away from Arsenal at the start of 2022.
Despite barely being used at the start of the current campaign, Lacazette has recently been handed more game time by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
In theory, that could have led to the Frenchman being prepared to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium past the end of the season.
However, according to Fichajes, the 30-year-old still feels that his future is more likely to be away from North London.
The report claims that Lacazette will not pen any new contract offer, giving him the opportunity to speak with foreign clubs from January onwards.
Although Atletico Madrid are currently regarded as the favourites for his signature, they will face plenty of competition from teams around Europe.
Lacazette has made a total of three starts and five substitute outings this season, netting three goals.
