According to the Telegraph, the striker, who signed a huge contract last year and raised his weekly salary to £350,000 is still part of coach Mikel Arteta’s plans, though he will be sold if the right price is offered.
Arsenal’s management has agreed in principle to dispense with the services of Gabonese sniper Pierre Emeric Aubameyang by finding the necessary funding to support the team with more deals.
The Arsenal administration took this step, due to the bad start that the team showed in the first two matches at the beginning of this season 2021-2022, which the team has not suffered in 118 years, after receiving a loss from Brentford and Chelsea with the same result 2-0.
According to the English newspaper, “The Telegraph”, Arsenal no longer considers Aubameyang an indispensable player, and will not stand in his way if any of the clubs try to sign him this summer.
Last season, Aubameyang scored 15 goals with Arsenal, and finished the season with the team in eighth place, but, according to the English newspaper, he still attracts the interest of Barcelona.
And Dutch coach Ronald Koeman, coach of Barcelona, puts the Gabonese player at the top of the list of deals he needs before the transfer market closes, but the financial crisis the club is going through may hinder attempts to include Aubameyang.
But soon, the newspaper “Sky Sports” came out and said, that the Barcelona administration is determined to make a reciprocal deal with Arsenal, which is the Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho, who can be used in a reciprocal process.
It is worth noting that Arsenal is the most spending club in the Premier League this season, with 135 million pounds on 5 new contracts, led by Martin Odegaard, Nuno Tavares and Ben White, and it is unlikely that he will take any other step before the sale.
