Arsenal management are furious with Barcelona‘s pursuit of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Mirror says Spanish media sources say Aubameyang is keen to join Barca this summer so he can play with star forward Lionel Messi.
However, the 30-year-old has always insisted he’s happy in north London.
And club officials aren’t best pleased about the persistent rumours linking their skipper with the La Liga champions.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta doesn’t want the Gabon striker to leave.
The Spaniard does want his future sorted before the end of the season though as his contract is due to expire in the summer of 2021, meaning this could be the last chance to get a big fee for him.
Should the Premier League resume following the coronavirus crisis, Arsenal look set to miss out on the Champions League once again next term.
But the forward seems to be content with life at the Emirates.
Speaking earlier this month, he said: “I love the fans here and when I was younger I used to watch Arsenal because they had always great players, and yeah they won trophies as well.”
