Real Madrid can fulfill a family ambition for Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.
Aubameyang’s future remains uncertain amid complicated contract talks with Arsenal.
The Gunners will reportedly deal at £30million and Barcelona are monitoring the player’s situation, while Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is also looking for a marquee attacking addition this summer.
Speaking in 2016, when he was playing for Borussia Dortmund, Aubameyang revealed he had promised his late grandfather he would one day play for Los Blancos.
The striker said: “Before he died two years ago I promised him that one day I would play for Real Madrid.
“My grandfather was from Avila, not far from Madrid. It’s what I said to him.
“I know it’s not easy but it’s something I keep in mind.
“I celebrate my goals with a cartwheel in honour of Hugo Sanchez.
“I’ve seen many videos of him on the internet and I’ve been following him since I was a boy.”
