Juventus and Barcelona have approached Arsenal over the loan signing of striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
There is no offer on the table as yet and it would be a difficult deal to do given Aubameyang’s wages, thought to be around £350,000 a week.
Arsenal are open to allowing Aubameyang to leave – but the deal would have to be financially acceptable to the club.
Aubameyang, who was stripped of the captaincy in December, has been left out of Arsenal’s squad for their warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
There were reported earlier this month that the 32-year-old would prefer a move to a top European club if a deal can be agreed.
Marseille, Sevilla, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan have all expressed an interest in this transfer window too.
Saudi Arabian clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal have made loan offers, with obligations to buy.
Barcelona, who are also in talks to sign Adama Traore on loan, are hoping to free up wages if they can offload winger Ousmane Dembele.
Juventus have agreed a deal to sign Dusan Vlahovic. This could have knock-on effects for Alvaro Morata, who is on loan at Juventus from Atletico Madrid and wants to go to Barcelona.
