Juventus have reportedly joined Barcelona in following unhappy Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 32-year-old Gabonese forward was stripped of his captaincy by coach Mikel Arteta yesterday due to disciplinary issues and he could depart in next month’s transfer window following this disgrace.
Spanish newspaper Sport reports that both Barcelona and Juventus are closely monitoring Aubameyang’s position in North London and are considering making a mid-season move for the former Borussia Dortmund man in the upcoming January transfer window.
Aubameyang’s current contract expires with Arsenal in 2023 but the Gunners may be open to selling him next month in order to close the chapter and avoid a situation similar to the one that saw Mesut Ozil ostracised from the squad for months before his eventual departure.
The 32-year-old Gabonese striker has only scored four goals in 14 Premier League appearances this season and has come under fire for looking disinterested and sluggish whilst on the pitch.
