Arsenal is set to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Paris Saint Germain this summer claims Spanish media outlet Todofichajes.
The Gunners’ captain is entering the final year of his current deal at the Emirates and the club’s intention is to keep hold of him for the long-term, but the striker doesn’t think that the club has the ambition to help him achieve his goals claims the same report.
He is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal and Arsenal doesn’t want to risk losing him for free at the end of next season.
Todofichajes claims that the Gunners are already in talks with PSG over selling the former Borussia Dortmund man and they expect to sell him for around £34million to the French side.
PSG took Mauro Icardi on-loan last season and they have the option of keeping the Inter Milan striker permanently. However, with the coronavirus pandemic hitting their finances, the Frenchmen have turned their attention to signing Aubameyang instead.
Icardi would cost them more than £40 million to sign permanently, but they can get Aubameyang who is also a proven goal scorer for less than that.
Mikel Arteta has already identified a number of strikers who would come in to replace Aubameyang if the huge amount of transfer gossip doing the rounds is to be believed.
Neymar Mbappe Auba is a bloody scary proposition and would be best in the world. As much as i want Auba to stay.. $50m and seeing these 3 together isnt so bad.
I agree – what a deadly front 3… my only issue is who will replace him!!!
I’d like to see Edouard – a big target man with huge potential.
We have Martinelli, Nketiah with Balogun coming through who all offer similar traits with their speed.
We need a different profile and Edouard offers that.
👍 I’d be happy if we opted for him too, Roshan…
Sue, when (?) EPL restart I’m fully convinced that the by then 19 year old Gabi Martinelli gonna make us forget about Auba completely. After three hattricks in the first eight rounds no one ever again will ask for the racing star. If only senior Arteta know his mission here, taking GM aside and tell him between four eyes how much trust he have in the young mans qualities – the kid will grow like the classic beanstalk. And score, score, score…
Huge boots to fill!! I agree, he will be a star, I just don’t see him picking up (right away) from where Auba left off -assuming he does leave us!
AS a gooner you have to be optimistic. Otherwise you go and hang yourself. I mean, there are so many (especially here on news now) who are saying nasty things about Asn’l. I wonder why?I call it the Asn’l complex, but maybe they are organised professional haters. Nasty rumors and fake news all the time. All the 0-6 and 2-8 results we have in the bag do they have to remind us. Why? They don’t have to, we remember all right. And all the lousy players between 32 and 40 do they want us to sign and make Ashburton an old people’s home. A retreat for rollator heroes and mumies. Luckily enough they have not much influence. None? Still it’s irritating. Why do they hate us? Why all this sh*t talk?
I don’t know why we expect any different!!
But you’re right – it is irritating, very irritating!!
