Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrived to the FC Barcelona with letter of freedom the last day of the wintry market. The gabonés, captain of the Arsenal from 2019, broke his hired with the 'gunners' because of differences with his technician, Mikel Arteta, the one who separated him of the team from mediated of December of 2021. Finally, the player of 33 years turned into the goleador of the group directed by Xavi Hernández in the second half of the season and all the parts remained satisfied with the operation.
In this regard, Edu Gaspar, technical director of the Arsenal, explained in an interview with 'The Sun' that, further to having had to pay him to Aubameyang so that it finalised his agreement, the club is "happy" with the decision that took. 'Auba' Converted 92 goals and 21 assistances in 163 parties in four seasons and average with the group londinense, while in Catalonia adds 13 so many and 1 assistance in 23 official parties.
"When a greater player of 26 years has a big wage and does not play, is you 'killing'", said Gaspar on the exit of the gabonés, which emulated the course of other players like Mesut Özil, Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac or Sokratis Papastathopoulos, to those who the managerial 'gunner' also dismissed with letter of freedom, no without before credit them the corresponding compensation by his respective agreements.
"It is better to pay so that they go out that have them blocking the way of another player. I know that it is rare to say that it is better to pay to a footballer so that it go that keep it, but sometimes is like this. Some people say that it is expensive to do this, but if there are problems have to solve ", sustained the technical director of the Arsenal. At the end of the market of the summer, maybe Joan Laporta have to apply this same theory with some players of the Barça.
