The Telegraph are reporting that Arsenal expect Barca to make an offer for Aubameyang, but that Barca could be priced out of a deal with Arsenal demanding 60m for him.
He's 30 years old and it's going to a bitter pill to swallow for them to pay that much for an aging striker with 18 months left on his contract.
But he's a very good player and buys them some time to perhaps not sign a striker this summer and instead evaluate the likes of Lautaro, Werner for another year if they stay at their respective clubs.
I'm not sure signing someone like Lautaro after one good season is the way to go.
