Aubameyang's joining Barca will save Arsenal a fortune, with several media outlets detailing what they understand to be savings.
In the end, Aubameyang joined Barca as a free transfer.
He terminated his contract with Arsenal before signing a new contract with Catalan, meaning the Gunners would not receive a transfer fee from him.
For Arsenal, however, his departure has brought some financial benefits, namely savings on players' salaries and bonuses.
Aubameyang's weekly salary at Arsenal is said to be £350,000, and he and his contract are 18 months away from expiring.
In total, the total salary is around £27 million. The Athletic report agrees with this figure.
However, The Goal Network reported that Aubameyang's departure could actually save Arsenal nearly £20 million in salary savings.
The £7 million difference between the two can be explained in a report in The Times. Arsenal reportedly paid Aubameyang a sum of money to terminate his contract, which is said to be around £7 million.
The Guardian reported that Aubameyang had given up his salary, and Guardian reporter Sid Lowe said the player had also given up the loyalty bonus that could be received at the end of his contract.
Assuming that the above information is relatively accurate, Arsenal can save more than £20 million in total.
The salary plus loyalty bonus totalled £27m, then stripped of the £7m rumored paid to the player.
Now they need to use the $20 million saved to bring in a new shooter in the summer window.
