Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Next Club Odds

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be set to leave the Emirates Stadium after claims of a fallout with Gunners’ manager Mikel Arteta. The Gabonese striker was reportedly wearing the Spaniard’s patience thin before his late withdrawal against Brentford on the opening day of the season due to illness and this appears to have exacerbated the issue.

Aubameyang signed a three-year contract extension at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal were desperate to tie down the former Borussia Dortmund striker’s signature with his previous contract wearing down and many clubs interested, however, since signing this deal which now sees the 32-year-old earn a reported £13m per year, his form has been wayward, scoring just 10 league goals last season compared to the 22 he managed in both of the 2019/20 and 2018/19 campaigns.

Barcelona are the bookie’s favourites to sign Aubameyang.

The Catalonian club are in need of a striker following Lionel Messi’s departure to PSG which shook the world of football, as well as the fact that new signing Sergio Aguero has been ruled out for 10 weeks with a tendon injury in his right calf.

Aubameyang would give Barca a new dimension up-front, as the Gabonese striker is known for the incredible amount of pace that he possesses, as well as the goalscoring prowess he has shown throughout his time at the Gunners apart from last season. What makes the 32-year-old’s 44 league goals in the two seasons prior to last more impressive, is the fact that he was playing for a side that didn’t provide him much in the way of service under Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta, having often been played out on the left-wing.

Prior to his move to the Emirates Stadium, Aubameyang was linked with several European giants due to his records at Dortmund and this could be the perfect chance to get the 32-year-old, as the Gunners could accept a slightly cheaper fee in order to shift his wages of their bills.

Serie A champions Inter Milan are also reportedly interested in the signature of Aubameyang.

Inter have recently sold Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku for around £97.5m to Chelsea and quickly acquired Edin Dzeko from AS Roma for an undisclosed fee. However, with Dzeko up-front and Lautaro Martinez’s future often looking uncertain, they could opt to make a move for Aubameyang in order to add more pace to their starting line-up.

As mentioned above, Inter could potentially use the fact that Aubameyang is on an astronomical wage to their advantage, as they did when signing Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United who was initially on a contract that was seeing the Chilean earn around £500,000 per week – which effectively allowed them to take the former Arsenal man from Old Trafford on a cheap deal as the Red Devils were desperate to shift his wage of their books.

Aubameyang is priced at 10/1 to join Inter this summer.

The final club on this list of sides that are rumoured to be looking at Aubameyang’s availability is the 32-year-old’s former side, Borussia Dortmund.

The Black and Yellows sold the Gabon striker to the Gunners back in January 2018 for £56m following five years at the Signal Iduna Park which saw Aubameyang hit the back of the net 98 times in 144 league matches.

So far, Dortmund haven’t directly replaced Jadon Sancho, opting to sign Donyell Malen from PSV in what looks like a long-term replacement for Erling Haaland. Aubameyang is versatile and can play on the left-winger or as a striker, which could allow Marco Reus to play down the middle rather than on the left-wing, seeing Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard fight for the right-winger role and potentially make up for any deficit in goals that they may suffer due to Sancho’s move to United.

Dortmund are priced at 16/1 to re-sign Aubameyang from Arsenal.
