Arsenal chiefs have assured Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang they won't block him from leaving.
El Desmarque says Aubameyang is yet to commit his long-term future to the Gunners and reports suggest he will consider moving on at the end of the season if they cannot secure a return to Champions League football.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen on a 69million move for the Gabonese striker, with the possibility of including James Rodriguez in a swap deal to lower the price.
And they claim Arsenal chiefs have told Aubayemang they will be open to offers if he decides his future lies elsewhere.
Aubameyang, who is under contract until the summer of 2021, is said to be keeping his options open rather than rushing into signing a new deal at the Emirates.
