Man United are preparing a £50m move for arsenal ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsenal would have preferred to cash in on Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing – even if it means selling to premier league rivals Manchester united.
The red devils have identified Aubameyang, 30, as a top target ahead of the summer transfer window, with ole Gunner solskjaer reportedly to entice him to Old Trafford in a deal worth £50m.
Garbon superstar Aubameyang has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe over the past seven years, scoring 141 goals in 213 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and as further 61 goals in 96 games for Arsenal.
Despite his substantial influence at the Emirates- Aubameyang was named the new Arsenal captain at the end of last year- the Gunner’s are struggling to convince the forward to sign a new deal.
Aubameyang will have just 12 months left on his current contract cone the summer and the sun say arsenal officials have accepted the fact he will not extend his stay in north London.
The Garbon international wants to be playing champions league football and that appears unlikely at Arsenal, who are currently ninth in the premier league and were knocked out of the Europa League last month.
It is claimed Arsenal would ‘prefer’ to sell Aubameyang this summer rather than lose the player on a free transfer and could recoup almost all the £56m they paid for him three years ago if they sale to united.
