What happened to the Lacazette option?

In the first days of April, Barcelona "announced" the transfer of the player Alexander Lacazette of Arsenal to Barcelona, or that was what the press and fans blaugranas thought. The explanation of this misunderstanding seems surprising, according to the newspaper Depor, on the official website of the Football Club Barcelona was shown, a few days ago, the photo of the French striker (Lacazette) with all his data and statistics suggesting that his entry to the aforementioned club was a fact, but the Barcelona leaders came quickly to the step and clarified that everything was a confusion.

As stated by that same newspaper, the Blaugrana technicians have information on each player that will be or was a rival of the Spanish club, for this reason, Lacazette's report was published erroneously on the official website; In addition, they added that the option of having the services of the French player is quite distant.
