Swapping Arsenal Players With Real Madrid Worth Waiting For

JAKARTA - Arsenal are reportedly ready to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Real Madrid, but they want Luka Jovic's signature.

El Mundo Deportivo quoted a report from British journalist Duncan Castles, who claimed that representatives of the two clubs and the players had held discussions.

Diario Sport also recently reported Barcelona's interest in the striker. Although the Gabon national team player stated that he prefers to move to Real Madrid, because his desire is to play in Spain, he is very open to moving to Camp Nou.

Indeed, the same media have highlighted how Ousmane Dembele - his former teammate at Borussia Dortmund - gifted him the 'Blaugrana' jersey last month while on a visit to Catalunya.

A report in El Desmarque in the November issue stated that the Gunners had told the striker they were willing to listen to offers for him if he wanted to leave, given his contract expires in the summer of 2021.

The report added that Madrid was one of the clubs interested and would be willing to pay more than 70 million euros to land him, while El Chiringuito said Barcelona were interested in the former Borussia Dortmund player.

Since moving from the Bundesliga in January last year, Aubameyang (30) has played 83 times scoring 53 goals. He was recently chosen as club captain to replace Granit Xhaka.

Jovic, meanwhile, joined Madrid from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth 60 million euros this summer. However, since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Croatian man has lost to Karim Benzema and has only started three games with one goal.

So far it has not been revealed how the scheme will be implemented in the transfer involving these two players.
