Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is out of contract at Arsenal in the summer of 2021.
According to The Sun, Arsenal are ready to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for just £30 million in the summer transfer window.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is “desperate” not to lose the Gabon international striker next summer for free when his current contract runs out.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker has turned down the Gunners’ offers of a new deal, and the North London outfit chiefs have decided to sell him for just £30 million amid the economic uncertainty due to the global health crisis, according to the report.
While it would be a massive blow for Arsenal to lose the striker for nothing next summer, without him in their team next season, the North London club are unlikely to challenge for the top four in the Premier League table next season.
Even with Aubameyang scoring 17 goals in the league this season, the Gunners are struggling to end up in the Champions League.
Moreover, with the £30 million from the sale of the 30-year-old, the Gunners would not be able to find a readymade world-class striker who could successfully replace the Gabon international.
Arsenal would be better off keeping Aubameyang and fighting for the top four next season than selling him for just £30m this summer.
