After leaving Arsenal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has joined Barcelona on a free transfer, which will be revealed today.
The Gabonese striker, 32, inked the contract late Monday evening.
Aubameyang has not played for Arsenal since a disciplinary infraction in December, but before to that, he scored 92 goals in 163 games.
Even though Aubameyang had traveled to Spain, Barcelona felt the deal was dead earlier on transfer deadline day.
He had also been linked with a move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
The former Arsenal captain’s departure will save the Gunners around £15 million in salary after they signed him for £56 million from Borussia Dortmund in 2018. However, it leaves Mikel Arteta with only Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as forward options for the rest of the season.
Because of continuing health difficulties, Aubameyang was returned home early from the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
After tests suggested “heart lesions” during a bout of Covid, the striker missed Gabon’s tie with Ghana, but further scans gave him the all-clear.
