What if the love story between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33) and FC Barcelona was not actually over? This is a hypothesis that may be a bit far-fetched in the eyes of some football observers or even some supporters, but which is in any case gaining momentum in Spain, and more particularly in Catalonia.
Aubameyang ready to bend over backwards for Barcelona
It must be said that the return with fanfare of the Gabonese international in the locker room of the Blaugranas, Sunday, after the oh so important victory of Barça on the wire, in the Clasico against Real Madrid (2-1), agitates the Iberian press . Sport also explains in this sense, this Tuesday, that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang does not forget his short stay in Catalan lands (from February to September 2022), and that he has very good memories.
A feeling that the striker under contract until June 2024 with Chelsea, where he was completely shelved by Graham Potter, rightly shared in Barcelona, with his former teammates, with whom he has kept very good relations. The Catalan daily goes further and adds that the return of PEA could become a reality if the financial situation of the FCB allows it. Even if Joan Laporta has not yet taken any steps in this direction, recalls Sport.
The return of PEA far from unrealistic
That’s good, the former Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund striker is ready to kneel down to make this possible. We are obviously talking about salary here. Aubameyang, who could well be released by the London club to reduce the wage bill, seems set to lower his emoluments if this allows FCB to bring him back to the Camp Nou side. It remains to be seen whether this return would delight all Barça supporters.
Arriving free from Arsenal, Aubam has certainly left a very good memory for Catalan fans, thanks to his 13 goals in 24 appearances in Spain, even bailing out the club’s coffers (€12m) by leaving for Chelsea. But the former AS Saint-Étienne player, excluded from the list for the Champions League, finds himself at an impasse in England, where he no longer plays at all with the Blues. His physical condition therefore raises questions and will have to be studied carefully if the two exes were to get back together.
