Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang discovers fate as Barcelona ask players to ‘slash wages’

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won't be affected by Barcelona 's financial cuts as the Spanish club's board reportedly plot to slash the current squad's wages by a staggering £136million.

The Gabonese forward joined the La Liga giants at the end of the January transfer window following an unceremonious Arsenal exit. In the wake of a high-profile fallout with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, Aubameyang's £350,000-per-week Emirates contract was mutually terminated, clearing the way for him to head to the Nou Camp on a free transfer.

The shamed striker took a significant wage cut in order to join the cash-strapped Catalan club, who appear set to step up their efforts to rebalance the books as they remain embroiled in a crippling financial crisis. The Barcelona board are understood to be eyeing mass wage cuts to a number of the club's stars, however, Aubameyang appears exempt.
