Arsenal could be offered a player swap deal by Real Madrid for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to Diario Madridista, who claim that Dani Ceballos could be included in negotiations.
While the Gunners are yet to open negotiations over a permanent deal for the Spanish midfielder, who has spent the season on loan in the Premier League, it is believed that Madrid will demand £36 million for his services.
Arsenal are said to be keen to sign the midfielder, who despite wanting to cut his loan spell short in January, has completed a turnaround under Mikel Arteta during the club’s previous few games before football was suspended.
Now Diario Madridista claim that with Los Blancos wanting to sign Aubameyang this summer, that they could include Ceballos in any offer as a makeweight to bring the Gunners’ price tag down.
Reacting on social media, a number of Arsenal fans were all for a player-plus-cash move, believing it to benefit all parties involved.
