Lacazette has been tipped to leave Lyon this summer after another stellar season in Ligue 1, scoring 21 goals in 34 appearances.
West Ham and Arsenal are both reportedly showing interest in the France international and Arsene Wenger admitted he couldn't rule out a move for the striker.
“I neither confirm or deny interest, if I say that I like the player it starts speculation” Wenger told French broadcaster Canal+.
However, according to Italian website CalcioMercatoWeb, Lacazette favours a move to Italy with Juventus.
The report says trusted intermediaries have informed them that the striker has given the go-ahead on a move to Juve.
And Lacazette is said to be tempted by the prospect of playing Champions League football next season - which West Ham cannot offer.
Juve CEO Giuseppe Marotta will reportedly meet with Lyon to formally hold negotiations for the striker soon.
But the report claims West Ham are still leading the talks with Lyon, despite Lacazette's personal preference of a move to Juve.
