The
FA Cup champions, Arsenal, have made a massive new contract offer to captain,
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
According
to reports, Arsenal have upped their contract offer to Aubameyang and are now
prepared to pay him £300,000-a-week to remain at Emirates.
Aubameyang
will earn in excess of £300,000-a-week including bonus payments in his proposed
new contract, up from the £200,000-a-week base salary he currently earns.
He
will also receive a one-off payment of £300,000 due to a clause in his current
contract requiring him to score or assist at least 25 goals, a benchmark he
reached in the Premier League on the final day of the season against Watford.
The
new deal would make Aubameyang the second-highest earner at Arsenal behind only
Mesut Ozil, though Arsenal would ideally like to offload the ex-Germany
international this summer.
Aubameyang
fired the Gunners to their 14th FA Cup trophy last Saturday with a 2-1 victory
over Chelsea and the club’s manager, Mikel Arteta is desperate for the Gabon
striker to sign a new contract.
The
31-year-old’s current contract at Arsenal is in its final year. He
joined Arsenal from Bundesliga giants, Borussia Dortmund in 2018.
