Barca and Arsenal consider Coutinho-Aubameyang swap deal

Despite the fact that Barca are going through an unprecedented economic crisis due to the huge debt (1,350 million), the Catalan giants have not said their last word in the market.

According to 'Sky Sports', the Spanish club are looking to make a swap deal with Arsenal. What they want is to get rid of Coutinho and acquire the services of Aubameyang.

The Gabonese, who was not in the Gunners' 2021-22 Premier League opener, has the exit door more than open and Barcelona could be a good option to regain confidence.

With Agüero out until November, the Catalan giants are looking for a striker -Braithwaite could leave- and the Arsenal striker would be the ideal candidate in all senses of the word.

Among the few options available at the moment, the aforementioned source points out that the Gabonese player responds to what they are looking for, both in terms of goalscoring and financially.  In 2020-21, Aubameyang scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 38 games.

For his part, Coutinho, who was left out of the match against Real Sociedad, knows that he will not have many opportunities and has no choice but to look for a team.

Barcelona have been trying to get rid of the Brazilian for some time now, as he is a serious financial burden in every sense of the word. The objective is to free up wage bill between now and the end of the market.
