Despite a lucrative offer from the Middle East, Obama Young is unlikely to accept a move to the Saudi league.
The Athletic reported that Obama Young's departure from Arsenal in the final week of the winter window was a no-brainer, but the players were not inclined to accept offers from the Middle East.
This is a problem for Arsenal, after all, the most specific offer they receive comes from AlCilar.
The Saudi club offered a loan contract with an optional buyout clause and was willing to take on Oba's full salary, something other European teams were reluctant to do.
The Daily Telegraph said european teams interested in Aubameyang included Paris Saint-Germain (the Athletic also mentioned the team), AC Milan, Sevilla, Juventus, Marseille and Barca.
But the Daily Telegraph supported The Athletic's view that Arsenal need to share Aubameyang's salary with these teams.
In addition, Both Al Hilal and Riyadh are interested in Aubameyang and are willing to pay his full salary, provided he changes his mind and is willing to leave Europe.
As things stand, it doesn't look like Oba has made much progress in leaving the team.
If most clubs can't afford his salary and he doesn't want to join the teams that can afford his salary, one of them has to compromise.
Unfortunately, this side could be Arsenal. Whether it's sharing Oba's salary when he joins another team, or a roster that brings him back, the Gunners will need to make some concessions to allow the situation to progress.
