Barcelona in advanced talks with Arsenal over Aubameyang loan


Barcelona are in advanced talks with Arsenal over the loan signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The two clubs have not agreed the deal yet, but there is increased confidence it can be completed before the transfer window closes on Monday night.

The deal would see Aubameyang move to the Nou Camp until the end of the season.

Barcelona would not have an option to make Aubameyang's switch permanent, and discussions continue over how much of the forward's wages they would cover.

Juventus also wanted to sign Aubameyang but their move was dependent on Atletico Madrid agreeing to cut Alvaro Morata's loan spell short. As it stands, Morata will stay at Juventus.

Arsenal are willing to allow Aubameyang to leave after stripping him of the captaincy in December following a disciplinary issue.

The 32-year-old has not played for the club since December 6, and was left out of their squad for their warm-weather training camp in Dubai this week.
