Aubameyang was pictured arriving in Barcelona earlier at an airport, but he won’t get his wish it seems synonymous with the incident that involved former Nigeria international Peter Osaze Odenwingie.

It had been claimed in England that Aubameyang’s arrival could see contract rebel Ousmane Dembele leave Barcelona for Arsenal in a swap deal but Dembele is reluctant to accept the offer.
