Barcelona has managed to reach an agreement to incorporate Arsenal“>Aubameyang in a marathon day that began when the footballer landed in Barcelona at noon. The bad relationship of the footballer with the Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, has been decisive for the English club to agree to facilitate the arrival of the striker, who will sign for a year and a half. Arteta had stripped him of the captaincy and removed him from the team for various acts of indiscipline. With broken relationships Arsenal he saw a good opportunity to get rid of his player’s token. Although at first he was annoyed by the presence of Aubameyang in Barcelona and assured that he was not going to pay even one euro of his file if he played for Barcelona, he finally agreed to grant him the letter of freedom.
It was merit of Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, who were negotiating all afternoon.
By having the letter of freedom and being free agent, Aubameyang may be registered in the coming days. The soccer player has agreed to significantly lower his salary for the remainder of the season, although he will recover it in the next one. This Monday a part of the medical examination has passed and now a second examination remains before the agreement is made official, since the footballer could not attend the Africa Cup due to a cardiac involvement after overcoming Covid. President Joan Laporta had already confirmed during his presence at the Mundo Deportivo gala that he had spoken with Mateu Alemany and that the Barça director of football had confirmed that the negotiations to sign Aubameyang were going in the right direction: «He told me that it seems that we will do it”, he revealed when there were five hours left before the market closed. In the absence of official confirmation, Aubameyang will become the fourth signing winter for the azulgrana after the additions of Dani Alves, Ferran Torres and Adama Traoré, who this Monday has already exercised with his new teammates and who will be presented on Wednesday.
The counterpoint has put Ousmane Dembele, who will finally stay at Barcelona despite the threat from the Barça club, which demanded an immediate departure as they did not see him committed to the project for the future. The Frenchman was very close to signing with him Chelsea but in the end the lofty pretensions of his agents aborted the operation. Now Barcelona will have to manage the situation of the winger, who has been left out of the last two calls to force him out.
