Barcelona will sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this week, with the Gabon international forward set to end his Arsenal stay. The player has fallen out of favour at the Emirates.
Barcelona have already secured the loan signing of Adama Traore from Wolves, and are set to follow that up with a deal tomorrow for Auba. The Gunners' former captain was stripped of his responsibilities for several disciplinary breaches and now will move to Spain to rekindle his season.
A major issue appears to be the hefty salary of Aubameyang, with the former Borussia Dortmund man earning £350,000 per week with Arsenal. Barcelona are only willing to pay around half of that to secure the striker's services.
Mikel Arteta looks set to miss out on a replacement for Aubameyang on transfer deadline day, so this January could be a disapointing one for Arsenal fans.
The forward played 128 times for Arsenal since his arrival in 2018, and justifiably leaves the club a legend having helped secure the FA Cup with winning goals in the cup final against Chelsea.
