Even though Barcelona is in a huge financial crisis, it still manages to bring in some pretty big names. After Ferran Torres and Adam Traore, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes on loan from Arsenal.
Barcelona has been in a major financial and playing crisis since the start of the season. Due to the salary cap, legend Lionel Messi had to leave, Piqué, Alba and Busquets had to take a sharp pay cut. New signing Torres could not be registered by the club, so they had to extend the contract of the unwanted Umtiti, in which they reduced his salary.
But an opportunity presented itself for the Catalan. Ousmane Dembélé should leave, because his huge salary puts a lot of pressure on the club’s coffers. Therefore, there should be a vacancy that Barcelona wants to fill immediately. From Wolwerhampton came on loan the muscular Adama Traoré and that’s not all.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should also go to Camp Nou on loan from Arsenal. The Gabonese striker has been a key player for the Gunners after his transfer from Dortmund, playing brilliantly and scoring 22 goals in the league twice in a row.
But since signing a new contract, his performances have gone down rapidly, the last two seasons his lacklustre performances have made you forget about the quick, dangerous goalscorer who was rampaging in the Premier League a few years back.
He’s coming to help Barcelona fight for the top four in La Liga. The Catalans’ goal for this season is to qualify for the Champions League, so far they are fifth in the table, one point behind fourth placed Atlético Madrid and five points behind third placed Betis. Alternatively, Xavi’s team can get into the millionaire competition through winning the Europa League.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, a loan move is imminent, the player has agreed contract terms, as have Arsenal. Aubameyang is already in the Catalan capital, so at the moment only Barcelona have to complete the move.
