He’s hasn’t started a game since lining up against his former club Arsenal in November and has scored just three goals.

And Aubameyang has looked a shadow of his former self in recent weeks, highlighted by the fact he was subbed off after being subbed on against Manchester City last week.

Fabrizio Romano has also claimed that the La Liga leaders would “love” the idea of re-signing the striker, but only on a free and once more stated it would hinge on Depay’s future.

Barcelona are the only club that Aubameyang can sign for because he’s already played for two teams this season.
