A possible rental transfer from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona has failed on the salary of the Arsenal striker, it is known The Athletic. Aubameyang arrived in Barcelona on Monday afternoon, but in the closing hours of the transfer window, Barcelona seem unable to discharge players to allow Aubameyang’s arrival.

Spanish journalist Gerard Romero and Romano shared images of Aubameyang in Barcelona on Twitter on Monday. The Gabonese striker set foot on Spanish soil at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat airport on Monday, but a rental transfer from Arsenal to Barça still seems to have failed. Sky Sports reports that Arsenal are surprised that the striker has already arrived in Barcelona before a deal has been struck. The Gunners are willing to let him go to Barcelona without rent and Aubameyang has no problem with giving up a large part of his weekly salary of 420,000 euros, but that has not been enough to sign him up for La Liga.

The possibilities of the Catalans are known to be limited by the salary cap imposed by LaLiga. Spanish media reported Monday morning that Barcelona currently only has two million euros left in salary budget. The talks between Arsenal and Barcelona revolved around the percentage of Aubameyang’s salary that Barca would pay. So Aubameyang wanted to compromise, but this has not proved to be enough. In order to free up more salary budget, Barcelona still has to release players in the final hours of the winter transfer window. A possible deal with Paris Saint-Germain over Ousmane Dembélé bounced off Monday afternoon.

Aubameyang was again disciplinary at Arsenal on December 6 by Mikel Arteta and has since been out of the match squad. the gunners. The attacker, who is the highest-paid player in the club with a salary of more than twenty million euros, can therefore look for a new employer. Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr were serious in the market and wanted to hire Aubameyang with an option to buy, but the 72-time international is determined to prove himself at the very highest level one more time. The Saudi Arabian proposals were therefore brushed aside.
