According to reports, Barca and Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne are interested in signing Aubameyang, although the former has some other candidates on the list of reinforcements, while the latter cannot afford his salary.
Aubameyang's time at Arsenal seems to have come to an end.
After being stripped of his captain's armband nearly a month ago, the 32-year-old was recently forced into quarantine due to a COVID-19 infection at a party and had planned to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations with Gabon.
In recent years, there have been many scandals between Barca and Aubameyang. With Aguero retiring, they are said to be considering bringing in Aubameyang, Cavani or Lacazette.
The Manchester United striker is said to be Barca's favourite target, which is what I have noticed recently – every time Aubameyang is linked to a move to Barca, he always seems to be the one on the list.
He was never the "highest priority".
As for Saint-Etienne, they simply cannot afford Aubameyang's sky-high salary, and the players themselves have a hard time compromising on this.
In addition to being paid higher than the average player, Ligue 1 players have also encountered some financial difficulties.
The connection they have made with Aubameyang is speculation by some.
