It is not the first time that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is related to Barcelona, but the continuity of the Gabonese in his club in question had never been in question. The scandal around the forward, after lose the captaincy at Arsenal, is served and in The Independent They understand that it is now on the market.

Xavi considers him indispensable, he already said it in his presentation: “In shape, he is the best in the world in his position”.
