Barcelona interested in signing Arsenal striker Aubameyang who missed out on their 2-0 loss to Brentford in their Premier league season opener

 

Barcelona are interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal.

According to Sky Sports, the La Liga club are willing to include former Liverpool midfielder Phillipe Coutinho in a swap deal for the Arsenal captain.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta acknowledged the club's £1.15 billion debt earlier on Monday.

Last year, Aubameyang, 32, extended his contract with Arsenal for another three years, until 2024.

The Gabonese striker, along with Alexandre Lacazette, were unavailable to play in Arsenal's Premier League opener against Brentford on Friday due to illness.

Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal in January 2018 for a then-club-record sum of over £60 million, scored 15 goals for Mikel Arteta's side as they missed out on European qualification for the first time in 25 years.
