Barcelona agree deal to sign Arsenal striker, Aubameyang

Barcelona has agreed to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on a permanent contract.

Arsenal was willing to let Aubameyang, who is said to make £350,000 a week, depart after he was stripped of his captaincy in December due to an unexplained disciplinary issue.

With Aubameyang’s departure, Arsenal is expected to save roughly £25 million in salary. However, with both Eddie Nketiah and Alex Lacazette’s contracts expiring in the summer, Mikel Arteta’s squad will conclude the season with just two recognized strikers.

The Arsenal striker has not appeared for the club since December 6, and he was left out of their warm-weather training camp in Dubai.

The 32-year-old’s transfer to Spain had been put on hold earlier on Deadline Day when negotiations over the financial aspect of the agreement fell through.

However, it’s believed that the Arsenal striker, who flew out to Barcelona on Monday morning, accepted a wage cut to make the move possible.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
