Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly ‘desperate’ for an Emirates exit.
The Gunners captain isn’t thought to be interested in signing a new deal in north London, with his current contract now entering the final 18 months.
Many European giants have been linked with the Gabon international, and according to the Mirror, cited by TEAMtalk, Real Madrid could make their move next month.
The report claims that the Spanish giants could even offer Serbian striker Luka Jovic as part of any deal.
The 21-year-old has featured just 10 times this season after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt over the summer, scoring on one occasion.
Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham are all thought to be monitoring the young striker, but it appears as if the €62m-rated ace (£53.1m) could be used as a sweetener in a deal for Aubameyang.

It would be an extremely difficult decision for the Gunners if Madrid follow through with their proposal.
Aubameyang is approaching the latter stages of his career, and although he is a fan favourite, should he wish to leave, Arsenal might not get a better deal.
Jovic showed last season in the Bundesliga that he has the ability to become a future star and receiving his services at the expense of Aubameyang’s departure could be an offer the Gunners can’t afford to turn down.
