Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who finished as joint top scorer in the Premier League this season alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, has become one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards. Recent reports suggest that FC Barcelona has identified the Gabonese striker as a potential target amid their summer transfer plans.
Barcelona is currently focused on securing the signature of Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid. However, the French striker is attracting interest from several top clubs, including PSG and Bayern Munich, making the transfer highly competitive. Acknowledging this, Barcelona reportedly has a contingency plan in place.
According to 10 Sport, Aubameyang serves as Barcelona’s “plan B” should they fail to land Griezmann. Arsenal’s star striker, known for his pace, clinical finishing, and experience at the highest level, is now on Barça’s shortlist as an alternative to strengthen their attacking options. With his Premier League credentials and consistent goal-scoring record, Aubameyang represents a viable option for Barcelona as they prepare for the upcoming season.
While the Catalan club continues to pursue Griezmann, Aubameyang’s inclusion in their plans highlights the importance of having a proven striker ready to step in if negotiations for their primary target falter. For the Gabonese forward, interest from one of Europe’s biggest clubs could signal a potential new chapter in his career.
