Reports has it that Arsenal ex-captain Pierre-emerick Aubameyang has reached an agreement with Barcelona over a loan deal until the end of the season.
However, the deal will only be confirm if Ousmane Dembele whose contract expires in the summer leaves the club before the end of January.
Dembele released a statement accusing the Catalans of trying to blackmail him into signing a new contract and he is now open to a move away from the club.
Aubameyang on the other hand has fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta following disciplinary breach which led to him being stripped of the captain’s armband.
And Arsenal are desperate to offload him inorder to get his £350,000-a-week wages off their books before the January transfer window closes.
According to Spanish reporter Gerard Romero, Aubameyang has agreed in principle to sign for Barcelona on loan.
However, Auba’s loan deal is still not confirmed as Barcelona will only progress with the deal if the striker’s former Borussia Dortmund team-mate Dembele signs for another club.
Should Dembele decide not to leave Barcelona, Aubameyang’s deal will collapse.
The Spanish reporter posted onTwitter: ‘Aubameyang enters [Barcelona] if Ousmane leaves.
‘Barca has a closed financial agreement with the player, until June on loan. Conditions that can allow your arrival. Arsenal need the footballer to leave.’
