Paris Saint-Germain preparing to rival Arsenal for Joaquin Correa deal?

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly preparing to battle Arsenal for the signature of Lazio attacker Joaquin Correa during this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old, who is currently with the Argentina squad competing at the Copa America, scored 11 times and registered six assists in 38 appearances at club level last season.

A recent report claimed that Arsenal were preparing to approach Lazio with an improved offer for the attacker, having seen their initial bid turned down by the Italian outfit.

According to Calciomercato, there is also genuine interest from PSG, although the South American could ultimately be priced out of a summer move.

The report claims that Lazio value Correa in the region of €50m (£43m), as the attacker still has three years left to run on his contract in Rome.

The former Estudiantes youngster, who is capable of operating in a number of different forward areas, has also previously been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
