On January 31, The Athletic's well-known reporter David Ornstein reported that Barca will still try to bring in new strikers before closing the window, and coach Xavi has made Aubameyang a major target.
It is reported that Aubameyang's negotiations to switch to Barca on loan are still ongoing, and the talks between the three parties have made positive progress, but there are still some details to be finalized on this potential deal. As a result, Aubameyang's transfer could be delayed until the final moment of the closing window.
At present, the main discussion between the two sides is how Aubameyang's salary will be shared, and the Gabon international's weekly salary is as high as 350,000 pounds. Arsenal are not expected to receive a loan fee, but they expect Barca to cover most of the player's salary. In addition, the rental contract will not include a buyout or mandatory buyout clause.
