Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reportedly made it clear to the north London club he wants out in the summer. That's according to new reports coming out of Spain.

Aubameyang is out of contract in 12 months' time and his long-term future at the Emirates is therefore in serious doubt. While Mikel Arteta wants to sit down for talks with the Gabon international at the end of the current season, whenever that may be, it is widely expected the Gabon international will move on. The 30-year-old has yet to play in the Champions League since his move to Arsenal in January 2018, during which time Arsenal have not made any progression. Arteta's arrival in December and the improvements since, before making permanent signings, suggest the Londoners have an upwards curve to look forward to.

But in the immediate future, Arsenal are still some distance from challenging for major honours in England and Europe. Show Player And with Aubameyang turning 31 this summer, the African is facing a decision which could define the rest of his career as he looks to add more silverware to a CV that does not boast the list of honours that might be expected given his talents. But with Spanish outlet Sport reporting that Real Madrid have sounded out the possibility of signing the former Borussia Dortmund frontman, they claim Aubameyang has made it clear he wants to quit Arsenal. They suggest the striker, who has 17 Premier League goals this season, could leave for around £43.5million (€50m) and that because of his goalscoring pedigree, that fee is attractive to a number of European teams.

Sport say Inter, Real, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have all made approaches for Aubameyang, who has told Arsenal he wants to leave this summer. It is claimed he will make a final decision on his future during June, although the current global coronavirus crisis could delay any potential switch. Arsenal legend Paul Merson, however, has warned Aubameyang to be careful with his decision.
