Arsenal could opt to cash in on the 31-year-old in this transfer window to avoid losing Aubameyang for free next year.

The striker has remained coy on his future, insisting he is yet to make a final decision.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is desperate for the former Borussia Dortmund hitman to stay, with the Gunners willing to offer him a £250,000-a-week deal.

And according to media reports Arsenal’s hopes of keeping Aubameyang could rest on the FA Cup final result.

The Gunners are relying on lifting the trophy this weekend to bring in extra revenue as well as securing a spot in next season’s Europa League.

Arsenal feel the added funds, alongside guaranteed European football, could tempt Aubameyang to stay.

Barcelona and Inter Milan are keeping tabs on Aubameyang now the transfer window is open.

Aubameyang openly discussed his future last month, with the Arsenal star admitting it’s the most important decision of his career.

“Recently I haven’t received an offer but of course there have been discussions with the club for a fair few months now,” he said.

“And they know very well why so far nothing has happened. It’s them [the club] who have the keys and for them to do their work. Afterwards we will see how things go.

“It is a turning point in my career, and I will be very frank with everyone, it will be of course a very difficult decision to make because I have still not decided.
“It is possibly the most important decision of my career. To be clear, nothing has been decided.”
Aubameyang is desperate to win silverware and if Arsenal cannot convince him that’ll happen in north London, the forward may leave.

“Of course I see titles in the future,” he added.

“Every player that is a competitor, dreams of winning titles, it is important. Afterwards, everyone will ask the question if you want to win them at Arsenal or elsewhere.

“As I said, it is the future that will tell us that. But I am hungry to win titles. That is clear and everybody knows it.”
