Manchester United Manager, Erik ten Hag is desperate for the signature of former Dortmund striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the close of the window.
Ten hag wants to reinforce his attack with the signing of the former Arsenal captain.
At the time Aubameyang joined Barcelona, it was reported he would earn about £2.1m over the initial five months of his contract.
But his wages were supposed to rise considerably from this season, which would explain why the club is willing to let him go.
United face a big challenge to persuade Aubameyang to choose them over Chelsea.
United considered a move for Aubameyang when he left the Emirates Stadium under a cloud in January.
And the uncertainty over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is forcing them to look at every possible option – which led to the embarrassing saga over former Stoke star Marko Arnautovic.
Barcelona would be open to selling Aubameyang as part of their own struggles to revamp their squad.
The Spanish giants pulled off some financial gymnastics that allowed them to register four of their summer signings – Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen – in time for their opening La Liga game against Rayo Vallecano.
