Arsenal pull out of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract talks?

Arsenal have reportedly pulled out of talks with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gabon international has a little over a year left to run on his existing contract and has been linked with a summer exit from the Gunners.

Aubameyang, who has scored 61 times in 97 outings since joining from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018, is said to have been locked in talks with the London club over a new deal.

However, The Express reports that the two parties have reached an impasse as the 30-year-old is after £200,000 a week, which Arsenal cannot afford.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan have all been linked with Aubameyang, with Inter thought to have already been in contact.

Inter's supposed interest in the prolific striker could open the door for Lautaro Martinez to head to Barcelona as part of a summer merry-go-round.
