DBasia.news – Arsenal as reported by Mirror is in a dilemma regarding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract extension. The Gunners have a big risk associated with the contract.
The role of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Arsenal is enormous. The former AC Milan player is a goal machine for The Gunners in the recent seasons. This season, Aubameyang has created 17 goals in 26 Premier League matches.
Unfortunately, Arsenal are at risk of losing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the near future. Besides the contract will expire next season, the 30-year-old striker is also rumored to want to leave in the summer of 2020.
Reasonably because Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is wanting to play in the Champions League. Looking at the current situation, Arsenal will most likely be absent again in the Champions League next season.
Indeed, Arsenal’s desire is to retain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang by giving him a new contract. However, according to Mirror, in reality Arsenal have difficulty reaching agreement with the striker. The salary requested by Aubameyang was too high.
On the other hand, losing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for free will also hurt Arsenal. Moreover, the selling price of Aubameyang will continue to plummet towards the end of the contract period.
Another option is to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the end of this season. Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are reportedly interested in the Gabonese striker.
However, again Arsenal stuck in a difficult situation. The Gunners need to find a replacement commensurate with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. In the transfer market during the corona virus pandemic as it is today, it is not easy to get players as desired.
Time is moving towards the end of the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract period. Arsenal are facing dilemma in every decision.
