Juventus are expected to step up their interest in Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette when the Serie A club’s sporting director Fabio Paratici arrives in London for talks, according to Calciomercato.com.

The Italian website claims the Bianconeri will also consider a move for Wolves forward Raul Jimenez as well as Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik but they are keen on snapping up Lacazette.

It is believed the Frenchman’s agent was the one who broached the idea of making a transfer happen, so with personal terms not believed to be a problem, the main negotiation could now take place with the Gunners.

Arsenal are said to be holding out for a fee of between €30m (£27m) and €35m (£32m) which Juve could look to bring down further by including a player in the deal.

The likes of Federico Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa, Daniele Rugani and Cristian Romero have been suggested as possible makeweights but reports in the UK have claimed that none of the players, other than perhaps Romero, would be considered as options by the London club.
