And Saudi side Al Nassr tabled a loan proposal for Aubameyang on Tuesday in a bid to rescue Aubameyang from his Arsenal woes, according to .
The loan offer included a £6.7million obligation to buy the 32-year-old at the end of the campaign.
It's claimed the Gunners are yet to respond to the offer, but are keen to offload Aubameyang's £250,000-a-week wages.
That would free up funds to pursue a move for Fiorentina hitman Dusan Vlahovic.
Both Juventus and Barcelona have also been linked with a move for Aubameyang this month.

Mikel Arteta was questioned on Aubameyang in the build-up to the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool.
The Spaniard insisted that the priority is to make sure Aubameyang is 'medically safe,' but remained coy on his future at the club.
He said Arsenal will 'see what happens' in regards to Aubameyang, with less than two weeks to go until deadline day.
Arteta said: "He is in London. Now he’s going through some examinations because we haven’t had any clarity from the Gabon National Team about the reasons why he came back.
"Obviously it’s our obligation to make sure medically the player is safe.
"So far, historically with everything we’ve done with the player, he’s never had that issue.
"Let’s go step by step and make sure the player is in the best possible condition, then let’s see what happens."
