Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has completed his move to FC Barcelona and is all set to don the Catalan jersey, know his transfer, contract and salary details
FC Barcelona has completed the signing of Gabon international Aubameyang on Monday night, right before the transfer deadline, halting his 4-year tenure with the Gunners.
The talks between Barcelona and Arsenal initially revolved around the Catalans signing the player on loan over the weekend, but a conclusion could not be reached with talks eventually breaking down. Call it a miracle for Barca fans, a significant development in the case has now seen Aubameyang making a permanent move to Camp Nou on a free transfer, instead of being signed on loan.
Here’s all you need to know about Aubameyang’s contract details, salary at Arsenal, career stats among other relevant info of his move to Barcelona:

Aubameyang’s move to Barcelona now stands as a sealed deal with contracts having been signed in the night for the player at Barca’s headquarters. Medical has been completed successfully and all the required paperwork is also ready, following which we expect to get an official announcement from the Catalan giants. The deal is done and Barca fans will be absolutely thrilled to have roped in another great player in the ranks of Xavi and co.
Arsenal had decided against spending one single pound for this particular deal and were clear that they wanted the 32-year old Gabon international out for good. There remained 18 months on Aubameyang’s contract with Arsenal, but he hasn’t featured in any of the Gunners’ games since early December, ever since his expulsion from the squad by boss Mikel Arteta for a disciplinary breach.
The Gabon international had signed a 3-year/ 39,000,000 pounds contract with the Gunners, with an annual average salary of 13,000,000 pounds. As of 2021, Aubameyang’s base salary stood at 13,000,000 pounds, with a cap hit of 13,000,000 pounds which he carried.
Aubameyang was Arsenal’s highest-paid player and his permanent move to Barcelona surely comes as somewhat of a financial relief to the North London club. While Arsenal have saved 25 million pounds in wages after Aubameyang decided to quit, the player will go from earning 350,000 pounds per week in wages at Arsenal to a measly 5,000 pounds at Barcelona till June 30.
He was a couple of other incentive based clauses included in his contract.
