Pierre Emerick Aubameyang Is monitoring the progress of the Barca-Martinez deal if an agreement could be reached.

The success of that transfer means Aubameyang would require to extend his stay at the Emirates as he enters the final year of his contract.

Barcelona have already shown interest in the 30-year old Gabonese and the dream of Aubameyang joining the Spanish giants’ rests on the failure of Martinez’s deal.

Arsenal is in talks with the former Borussia Dortmund player on an extension yet no response has been given.

Although Lautaro Martinez has made up his mind to join only Barcelona when the current season ends, yet the Catalans seem short of finances to trigger his €111 million release clause from Inter Milan.

Reports also explain that Inter must have a replacement for their starman before he can be allowed to move on even if his price value is met.

With Real Madrid having joined the race to convince the Argentine to continue his trade in the capital, Barca stands out to losing the player especially when PSG has given the green-light to sell Neymar at an "impossible" figure of £156 million.

Aubameyang could worth below £25m and a player of his quality will fit into Quique Setien’s side. If he refuses to extend his Arsenal deal, the club is willing to keep him till his contract fully runs out.

Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, he has scored 61 goals in 97 games.
