The ambitious Saudi side Al-Qadsiah continues its quest for European football stars. After failing to attract the first two names on their wishlist – Mauro Icardi and Alvaro Morata – the Saudis turned to the third option – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! This is not the first time the experienced forward has been linked to the move to the Middle East. However, what’s new is the amount Al-Qadsiah is ready to pay for the 35-year-old – 40 million euros! The same sum was meant for Spanish captain before he turned it down and opted to stay in Europe.🚨🚨| NEW: Aubameyang is close to JOINING Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia! 🇸🇦⏳He has been offered 40 million euros over two seasons, the biggest contract of his career. 💰[@LeMechenou] pic.twitter.com/vnJiti2CWX— CentreGoals.

Al-Qadsiah is led by the Spanish strategist and Real Madrid legend, Michel, while their first notable reinforcement was Spanish international and former Los Blancos captain Nacho Fernandez. All in all, it seems like an offer one cannot refuse. On the other hand, it is all up to the Gabonese and his preferences – whether he’d like to make a quick buck and earn vastly or stay in European football and compete with the best. The choice is everything but easy…##NAJAVA_MECA_8213884##
