Real Madrid have made the transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a priority over the summer transfer window, as they have played a key role in intensifying Madrid’s interest in the Arsenal striker in recent days.
The Spanish club is still facing the responsibility of finding a player who can fulfill the space left empty by Cristiano Ronaldo, since the latter left for Juventus in the summer of 2018.
However, Zinedine Zidane now believes he has found the right replacement for the Portuguese. The Spanish newspaper Sport reports that the French coach now wants to transfer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangu, who is reluctant to renew his contract with Arsenal.
Moreover, Sport reports that the striker has already asked the leaders of the London club to allow him to leave the team as soon as the season is over, as many other clubs, such as Barcelona, ??Inter, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are overseeing his situation. Aubameyang has only one more year left on his contract with Arsenal and this has motivated Real Madrid to intensify interest, as Madrid believe they can buy him for. 44 million.
Since moving to Arsenal, the 30-year-old has scored 61 goals in 97 appearances, while also winning the captain’s armband. However, Arsenal are not expected to qualify for next season’s Champions League and this has raised doubts about his future.
