Arsenal are prepared to sell captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.
But the Daily Express says Barcelona are ready to end Aubameyang’s dreams of swapping London for Catalonia this summer.
The Catalan giants want to bolster their strike force and have been looking at the Arsenal hitman who has scored 20 goals in 32 appearances so far this season.
The Gunners have got Aubameyang, 30, under contract until the end of next season and he has been linked with both Barcelona and Inter Milan.
And even though they have improved under Mikel Arteta, the club could miss out on the Champions League which will leave another hole in their finances to fill.
Aubameyang’s £300,000-a-week demands – an increase of around 30 per cent on his current deal – have caused talks about an extension to stall, and they could now look to sell.
But Barca have told Aubameyang that he isn’t their priority with Inter Milan‘s Lautaro Martinez and a return of Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain higher on their shopping list.
