After joining Barca in the winter window, Aubameyang started 11 times in 14 games in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and 1 assist. Among them, there are 7 starts in 9 league games, 8 goals and 1 assist, averaging 1 goal per game, and the state is back to the peak. And Aubameyang's recovery is inseparable from the strong support of his good buddy Dembele. Dembele has delivered 15 assists to Aubameyang so far (including during the Dortmund period), more than any of the latter's teammates. Now the two men's border-center connection has become a weapon for Barca to attack the city.
Compared to the depression of his time at Arsenal, Aubameyang has regained his joy of playing football at Barca, and continuing to team up with Dembele is his current desperate hope. Aubameyang's contract with Barca is signed until the summer of 2025 and is free to leave the team next summer. Dembele's contract expires this summer, and the current renewal is still pending.
Based on this, Aubameyang took the initiative to play the lobbyist, and he has repeatedly expressed his desire for Dembele to stay in interviews. After the 3-2 win against Levante, Aubameyang tweeted again on social media to retain Dembele, writing: "Cheers until the last minute (the expressions of 2 arms!!! Then Ait took Dembele. Although he didn't say anything, he sent 2 expressions, the first symbolizing "renewal" and the second one praying with his hands folded.
The meaning is already very obvious, and Aubameyang prays for Dembele to renew his contract with Barca. In addition, in the 4 accompanying pictures of the dynamic, the first one is Dembele, who holds an assist for himself after Aubameyang scored, and the two heads are on their heads, and the scene is very "nice".
Seeing that Big Brother took the initiative to Aite himself and released such a warm and loving scene, Dembele then responded. But he did not write any words, but with 2 emoticons. The first is a "handshake" expression with an agreement meaning, and the second is "love", if there is a reference. This seems to imply that Dembele shares Aubameyang's expectations and that he also enjoys playing with Aubameyang, "LOVE YOU".
Although Dembele's contract is about to expire, the odds of him ending up at Barca are increasing from recent indications.
Dembele has been with Barca for almost 5 years, and most of the previous few years have been "bedridden", even if it is on the pitch, it is a bad game, and the performance has been criticized. Now under Harvey's hands, Dembele has a rare stable play and continues to perform brightly. So far, he has started 10 times in 14 league rounds, scored 1 goal and assisted 11 times, and tied for the top of the assists list with Benzema, but it is only a matter of time before he comes back.
In addition to a marked pick-up in performance, Dembele also reunited with Aubameyang, a good buddy of the Dort era, at Camp Nou. The former had his highest season at Dortmund, with 10 goals and 20 assists in 49 games, and Aubameyang also achieved the most eye-catching performance of his career, with 40 goals in 46 games. The tacit understanding of these 2 people seems to be innate, and now they are holding hands again, and the tacit understanding continues, and the cooperation is natural.
At the request of head coach Xavi, the Barca top brass recently restarted the renewal negotiations with Dembele, and talked again in a short period of time after the Moroccan talks, which shows that both sides are currently trying to move in one direction, and the renewal will be a happy ending for everyone.
