Published on June 30, 2019, Arsenal's financial constraints have led to a decision to sell several first-team players, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The club's disappointing 2018/19 season has severely restricted their transfer budget, leaving them with just £45m to spend this summer.

As a result, Arsenal are now seeking to offload several first-team players, including Aubameyang, to boost their funds and bring in new legs.

According to reports, the club will demand £56m for the transfer of Aubameyang, which is the same amount they paid to sign him from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.

Aubameyang's impressive form in front of goal last season, where he scored 22 goals to share the Golden Boot with Liverpool's Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, has made him a rumoured target for Manchester United.

However, Arsenal have prioritised the signing of Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, and Aubameyang's future at the club remains uncertain.
