AS Saint-Etienne : Barça and Saint-Étienne in the fight for an exceptional striker | ASSE News

Dismissed by Arsenal following behavioral problems, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now pushed towards the exit. An opportunity for FC Barcelona as for ASSE who hope to be able to attract him in the form of a six-month loan.

The end of the adventure seems inevitable for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal. Put aside by Mikel Arteta for not having respected a mandatory quarantine on his return from France to have gone to see his sick mother, the former ASSE is clearly pushed towards the exit. He will no longer wear the colors of the Gunners for an indefinite period. An opportunity that FC Barcelona wants to seize while AS Saint-Etienne is on the lookout.

Indeed, following the early retirement of Sergio Agüero, FC Barcelona is turning to the attacking market with three offensive players in their sights: Alexandre Lacazette, Aubameyang and Edinson Cavani. If the Uruguayan is Xavi’s priority, the other two are great opportunities that the Catalan club could also seize. But faced with this unprecedented situation, AS Saint-Etienne could do well. Journalist Darren Tullet recently mentioned the potential idea of ​​a loan to the Greens. An operation that makes the fans of Saint-Etienne dream. Nevertheless, it is difficult to imagine that AS Saint-Etienne, in financial difficulties, could take on part of the salary of the Gabonese international.
