The 27-year-old lifted the Serie A title last season and has previously been linked with Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Chelsea. According to W Deportes, he has an uncertain future and there has been interest from both Saudi Arabia and the United States.

However, the Mexican outlet has also claimed approaches have been made by Leeds, Everton and Stoke City. Newcastle United were also said to be keen but have reportedly dropped out of the race.

The report claims an offer from MLS side LAFC is on the table and would give Lozano a “significant salary increase”. If LAFC do indeed secure his signature, the Mexico international would be linking up with former Leeds prospect Mateusz Bogusz.
