Barcelona at some point were interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Camp Nou outfit wanted to get the Gabonese if they failed to land Lautaro Martinez.

Aubameyang eventually renewed his contract with Arsenal and put an end to any hope of Barca signing him this year.

According to Sport, Aubameyang revealed on a French show that the reasons why he decided to stay at Arsenal is because of coach Mikel Arteta who convinced him and the love shown to him by supporters and people at the club.
