Barcelona Transfer News: Latest on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Top Rumours

Barcelona reportedly opted against signing Pierre-Emrick Aubameyang this summer despite being approached by representatives of the Borussia Dortmund striker about a possible transfer.

Aubameyang was open to moving to the Camp Nou to replace Neymar, but Barca had other targets in mind, according to Tomas Andreu of Sport: "The Catalan club felt they needed [Philippe] Coutinho and [Ousmane] Dembele more, though."

As Andreu noted, Aubameyang's representatives alerted clubs to the attacker's possible availability: "The striker's people didn't exactly offer him to the Catalan club but did let it be known he would be keen to sign following Neymar's move to PSG.
