Arsenal have had a season to forget so far but they still have a chance to achieve success at the end of the campaign, and that is mostly thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The striker has continued where he left off last season with 17 goals in 25 league games this term, and therefore it is not surprising that transfer interest in him has grown. One potential destination for the 30-year-old is Milan, with Inter reportedly interested in a deal should Lautaro Martinez make a summer move to Barcelona, with the Catalans said to be chasing a €150m (£125.5m) deal.
It would be surprising to see Aubameyang leave, however, as he is key to this Arsenal side and Mikel Arteta will likely be desperate to hold onto him as he looks to build a long-term project in North London. The Gabon international could be persuaded to stay at the Emirates if the Gunners manage to win the Europa League, too, as they would be able to offer him Champions League football as a result.
Here is what some fans think about the rumour linking the £200,000 a week player with a move to Italy.

I heard that his price is 70. I think clubs like Inter and Barcelona will bid that in the summer.

Player swap with Martinez or 55mill and he’s yours

If Aubameyang leaves we should sign Lautaro

Not for sale

Not true. They were offered him when he was at Chelsea but opted for Giroud because he is a target man. Aubameyang doesn’t suit Conte’s teams because he isn’t good at holding up the ball. Will not happen

Give us 80 for auba maybe otherwise I’d rather see him run down his contract
