#3 AC Milan

Stefano Pioli has recently extended his contract with AC Milan.

AC Milan is another club where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has plied his trade at, but he never made a senior appearance for them. The Gabonese was at the club for one season (2007-08).

Milan's current striker options are Olivier Giroud (35) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (40). With age clearly not on the duo's side, Milan are looking to sign adequate back-ups for the two star men. Considering the Italian club are not averse to signing a slightly older player, it could prove to be a career-changing move for Aubameyang.

Considering that he never appeared for their first team, the Gabonese has unfinished business at the San Siro. Moreover, with Milan on the rise again, the 32-year-old could be tempted to join them


#2 FC Barcelona

Xavi Hernandez is one of the few players to have played for and managed Barcelona.

When a club like Barcelona came knocking, even Arsenal legends like Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas could not say no. Such is the Blaugrana's stature in the game that most players would make the switch to Camp Nou at the drop of a hat. That's a big possibility in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's case too.

Barcelona have struggled to integrate Memphis Depay into their system due to constant rotations in the squad and his inconsistent performances. They signed Sergio Aguero from Manchester City, but he was forced to retire from the sport due to heart arrhythmia.

Aubameyang would be a great fit for Barcelona. Currently, both Arsenal and Barcelona are undergoing rebuilds, and both squads are rife with unpolished, youthful talent. Both teams also play a refreshing brand of attacking football that involves a lot of passing.

The Gabonese's transfer fee and wages could scupper the move, though, considering Barcelona's financial woes.


#1 Juventus

Massimiliano Allegri is looking to revive Juventus' difficult season with a few signings.

Whenever a star player is about to run out of contract, faces a difficult situation at their current club, or is exiled, Juventus inevitably emerge on the scene.

Currently, the Bianconeri are interested in Arsenal-target Fiorentina's 21-year-old Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. However, the finances of the deal are proving to be a major stumbling block for them, giving Arsenal the unspoken advantage.

However, in a situation where Arsenal land Vlahovic, Aubameyang could outright be asked to leave the club. Considering the Gunners would be in need of money, they might accept an offer around £20 million for the services of their former captain.

Should such an opportunity arise, Aubameyang could make a move to Juventus, and it would be beneficial to all parties.
