On August 20, 2019, Arsenal was keen to have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stay at the club beyond 2021.
The 30-year-old Gabonese striker has become a fans-favourite since his arrival in January 2018 and has netted 43 goals in 67 appearances for Arsenal.
Arsenal are reportedly planning a fresh incentive-based contract offer for Aubameyang, with the club offering him huge Champions League related bonuses in a move aimed at persuading the star forward to commit his future with the club.
Reports in the UK contend Arsenal are unable to offer Aubameyang a deal that would match top-earner Mesut Ozil’s wages but will include lucrative incentives in any potential offer.
Club boss Unai Emery has in the recent past revealed discussions with Aubameyang over a new contract are in advanced stages, and there is optimism both sides could reach an agreement.
