Barcelona has not yet made an official announcement; Arsenal did not say anything. But everyone in European football knows that Pierre Emerick-Abameyang has been a Barcelona player since yesterday. The Arsenal forward was spotted at the Barcelona airport yesterday. The only way for a player to appear in a city like this on the last day of the transfer is to join a new team.
Fabrizio Romano is a reliable source for the news of the transfer. The Italian journalist reported yesterday that Barcelona had reached an agreement with Abameyang. The news will be officially announced today. However, last night's meeting of Barcelona officials at the headquarters and the end of the agreement There is no doubt about it after the picture of footballer and Bar a president Juan Laporta cheering at Gabonese. The deal fulfills Abameyang's long-held dream of being able to play for a major Spanish team; However, the striker failed to keep his word to Nana.
Abameyang started as Arsenal captain this season. He also played against Manchester United on December 2 as captain. After that, coach Mikel got into trouble with Arteta. In the next match against Everton on 6 December, he lost his place in the original XI and lost the captaincy.
He was seen on the field for only 5 minutes in that match. His form is not going well. He has scored just four goals in 14 league appearances, the last of which was on 10 October, against Aston Villa. Despite scoring three goals in one match in the League Cup, it was against second-placed Bromwich Albion.
On the one hand there is no form, on the other hand the responsibility of breach of discipline. Abameyang became unbeaten at Arsenal. The Gunners have not played him since December 6. 33 will be completed next June, the coach doesn't like it anymore; They are happy to release such a player. Meanwhile, Barcelona is also looking for a striker. Usman Dembele has been asked to leave the club as his contract has not been finalized. Ansu Fati herself has been injured again. Expected results from Memphis Dept. are not available.
Luke de Young, who was sidelined in the January transfer window, is now Barcelona's savior. Xavier was in dire need of a striker. Xavier was the first choice for the Spanish Alvaro Morata. But Morata did not leave Juventus. Abameyangi necessarily trust.
On the other hand, getting a chance to play in a club like Barcelona, Abameyang has also reduced his salary. The Gabonese striker, who earns 3.5 million euros a week at Arsenal, will take only 1 million euros to Barcelona. As a result, Barcelona is not exceeding the salary limit.
Last night, Fabrizio tweeted the good news to Barcelona supporters, adding that Pierre Emerick-Abameyang had joined Barcelona, "The deal is done. The agreement has been reached and Abameyang will sign the agreement at the Barcelona headquarters. Medical done. Arsenal are also happy to have survived the big payout.
Abameyang's mother will be very happy with this change of team. In 2016, the striker said: "If I could play for Madrid or another big club in La Liga, I would be able to give my mother a great gift."
Since joining in 2016, Abameyang, who has scored 92 goals and assisted 21 goals in 173 appearances for Arsenal, has fulfilled his mother's wish. Gabon himself played for the national team, and his father, Pierre Abameyang, captained the Gabon team. Abameyang was born in France. However, his dream of playing in Spain is due to his mother. Mother Margarita Crespo Spanish. Margarita was born in the Avila region near the Spanish capital, Madrid. So he may want to see the boy in Spain.
But one would be upset if Abameyang joined Bara. Abameyang's grandfather wanted his grandson to play for Real Madrid. He joined Borussia Dortmund from Saint-Etienne in 2013. He first showed his goal-scoring ability when he came to this club. While scoring 141 goals in 213 matches, his name was regularly associated with Real Madrid.
Aba has scored four goals in four appearances against Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2016 and 2017. After scoring two goals in two matches in 2016, he said about his and his grandfather's dream, 'My childhood dream? Play at Real Madrid. My grandfather was born in Avila, not far from Madrid. Before his death in 2014, I promised that I would one day play for Real Madrid. '
He also said that he would try his best to fulfill his dream. "I know it's not easy, but the thing is in my head," he said. While celebrating the goal I give the cartwheel in honor of Hugo Sanchez. The Mexican legend Sanchez scored 206 goals in 263 appearances for the Los Blancos from 1985 to 1992, winning five consecutive La Liga titles.
Who knows, maybe Abameyang will have a cartwheel celebration like Sanchez at the Bernabeu on March 20th. But not in Real's jersey as usual, he will now be seen in Barcelona's blue-maroon jersey.
