The deal to take the Gabon international to Camp Nou looked dead in the waters but it emerged late Monday that both clubs have agreed to do business albeit without a fee paid to Arsenal.
The move is a permanent one with the Gunners allowing him to go which means that they are able to save about £25m with Aubameyang’s contract expiring in 2023 on a £350,000 weekly wages.
