Barcelona have confirmed they remain interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after failing to prise the Arsenal captain away from the north London club in January.
The Gabon international has enjoyed another prolific season with the Gunners, despite the club’s ongoing struggles in the Premier League.
Aubameyang turns 31 in the summer and is desperate to play Champions League football again, a prospect that already looks remote for Mikel Arteta’s side who are languishing in mid-table obscurity. Barcelona, who will be without Luis Suarez for the remainder of the current campaign, reportedly made a move for Aubameyang last month but were firmly rebuffed.
Aubameyang has maintained he is content with life at Arsenal but with talks over a contract extension having stalled Barcelona are likely to test the waters again come the summer, according to the club’s sporting director Eric Abidal.
