The Catalan club want to add a striker before the January window closes on Monday night
Barcelona are close to agreeing on a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to sign before the transfer window closes on Monday night. Per the Athletic, conversations between Arsenal and Barcelona are focused on a loan deal for the rest of the season. Auba has a contract until 2023 with the Gunners, but is out of favour, has been punished for ill-discipline and been stripped of the captaincy.
Auba earns 350,000 pounds a week in England (420,000 euros), so is owed 8 million euros for the rest of the season. Barcelona can’t get to that but the forward would accept less money.
