Arsenal prepared to sell captain Aubameyang for €85 million

The Gabonese has a contract running until 2021.

And the club has set his asking price.

Arsenal are reportedly set to demand a fee of €85 million for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 30-year-old has been in prolific goalscoring form this season, registering 14 goals in 23 Premier League appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side.

However, the Gabon international is out of contract with the Gunners next summer, and Inter Milan are allegedly leading teh race for his signature. According to The Mirror, Arsenal are to remain firm on a €85m price tag for Aubameyang, despite the fact that the striker has allegedly rejected new deal worth £350,000-per-week.

The report also states that Barcelona’s pursuit of Lautaro Martinez could pave the way for Aubameyang to make the switch to Antonio Conte’s side, with the Catalan giants looking for replacements for the injured Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele. Aubameyang has scored 57 goals in 92 appearances for the Gunners since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2018.
