Lukas Podolski has backed Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to complete a "dream" move to Real Madrid.
Aubameyang is currently Arsenal's leading goalscorer this season with 20 goals.
Aubameyang's contract at the Emirates will expire in the summer of 2021.
Podolski won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2014.
He added that it would be a big loss if Aubameyang were to leave the north London side.
"When you have a fantastic season like he had, many clubs are interested," Podolski told Sky Sports.
"When a player has a wish to play for a big team or a dream to play in Italy or Spain, or like Aubameyang and his link with Real Madrid...
"If he has a dream to play for this club when he's young, then why not?
"As a player, you have to take this chance to play for a club like that.
"Of course for Arsenal, it'll be a big loss if they have to sell him but this is the business of football.
"My opinion is you lose a big player, he had a fantastic season with a good scoring record, but you can make money on a player, sell him and you can invest in new players.
"For a player like me or Aubameyang, when a big club is calling, you always want to have this dream."
