Barça is looking for a replacement for Luis Suarez. One of the names in the list would be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. According to French media, the Catalan team follows the Arsenal player very closely.

Aubameyang could end up in Barça. The club presided by Josep Maria Bartomeu is reportedly keeping a close eye on the Gabonese player, according to 'Le10Sport'.

According to this source, Aubameyang has a privileged place in Barcelona's agenda, as the Arsenal striker has been one of the team's targets for a while. 

However, Aubameyang is still not number one the list of priorities. The favourite to become Luis Suarez's successor would be Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez.

In any case, Barça has more than one option, Aubameyang among them, but his age could become an issue. He is 30 years old, only two years younger than Luis Suarez. Therefore, he would not be a signing for the long term future.

According to 'El Chiringuito', Barça follows Aubameyang closely. So much so that it wouldn't be ruled out that he could become a January signing. In France also point to this possibility.
