FC Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

According to Sky Sports News, the Catalan giants are eager to add the Gunners forward to their ranks this summer. As per the report, Barcelona are willing to offer Philippe Coutinho as part of a deal.

The La Liga side are in dire financial problems and are not able to offer Arsenal a fee for Aubameyang. The attacker has two years left on his current deal with the north London side.

Aubameyang’s future with Arsenal is up in the air with reports suggesting that Mikel Arteta is eager to move the striker on this window. Alexandre Lacazette is also free to leave this summer.

The Gunners are keen to sign a new striker. However, their options are low with Tammy Abraham officially joining AS Roma. Moreover, the transfer window closes in just under two weeks.

Indeed, Aubameyang was in poor form last season and the attacker also failed to score during pre-season. However, many Arsenal fans on social media are against swapping him for Coutinho.

Whilst playing in the UEFA Champions League might appeal for Aubameyang at Barcelona, fans don’t want the Brazilian playmaker coming to the Emirates in exchange for their captain.

Here’s what some Arsenal fans had to say on Twitter about Barcelona’s interest in Aubameyang…
