Barcelona fans have reacted to the claims that they want to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Sky Sports reported that the Spanish giants want to sign the Arsenal speedster and they are willing to offer Philippe Coutinho as part of the exchange.

A crazy transfer rumour involving two clubs that are run in a pretty abject fashion, so no surprises there.

Whilst no one is in bigger financial trouble than those from Catalonia, both the La Liga club and Arsenal have high wage-earners who they are struggling to shift this summer.

But what a better way to deal with that by possibly signing another high wage-earner from another club, whose form has gone out of the window, and just replacing your problems with a fresh face?

If this deal were to happen, and it would be surprising if it did, then both Barca and Arsenal aren’t dealing with their issues, just replacing it with another name.

But it seems as though some Barca fans, who lost star man Lionel Messi this summer, don’t want Aubameyang signed up.

The 32-year-old penned a big-money deal last summer at the Emirates, but since then, his form has gone out of the window.

Arsenal are better off parting ways with him, but not replacing him with Coutinho, who has fallen down a bigger cliff since leaving for Liverpool.
