Barcelona are close to an agreement with Arsenal to take Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan until the end of the season, according to reports.
The 32-year-old has been frozen out by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and recently lost the club captaincy, with the Gunners hoping to get his £350,000-a-week wages off their books - those wages seemingly the only sticking point now for the Catalunians.
Reportedly, Arsenal would not receive a loan fee but want Barcelona to cover as much of his wages as possible. No option or obligation to buy is expected to be included in the proposed move.
Meanwhile, reports also suggest that Barcelona taking Aubameyang depends on the Catalonian club shifting Ousmane Dembele.
If the deal goes ahead, Aubameyang leaves Arsenal having played a total of 163 games, scoring 92 goals and providing 20 assists across all competitions, winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield for the north London club.
Barcelona are in advanced talks with Arsenal over the loan signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
