Worlds: Whether Barca can sign Aubameyang depends on whether Dembele leaves in the winter window

According to the World Sports newspaper, Barca are trying to strengthen their forward line in the final days of the winter transfer window, and now Arsenal striker Aubameyang has become the latest target for the Red and Blues. However, whether Barca can sign the Gunners forward depends on whether Dembele leaves in the winter window.

Barca had hoped to use Morata to reinforce their forward line, but Atletico did not want to send the Spanish international to their direct rivals in the league. Aubameyang is currently out of favor under Arteta, so if Aubameyang joins Barca, it can be said that it is a win-three deal. However, The World Sports newspaper said that it depends on dembele's transfer progress.

Dembele's agent is currently open to players leaving Barca. If Dembele leaves, it could free up huge salary space for Barca, which will benefit Barca in signing Aubameyang. If Dembele does not leave Barca in the winter window, then the Barca winter window can only sign Traore, who has joined with a reduced salary. Therefore, whether Dembele leaves the team in the winter window has become the key to barca's reinforcement operation in the last few days of the winter window.

The 32-year-old Aubameyang has scored four goals in 14 Premier League appearances this season. In the 2016-17 season, Aubameyang and Dembele were teammates at Borussia Dortmund.
