Earlier on Monday, Barcelona president Joan Laporta revealed the club are £1.15bn in debt. Aubameyang, 32, signed a new three-year deal with Arsenal last year until 2024.
The Gabon striker missed the Gunners’ opening-day Premier League defeat at Brentford on Friday through illness, alongside Alexandre Lacazette.
Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal for a then club-record fee in the region of £60m in January 2018, scored 15 goals for the north London club last season as Mikel Arteta’s side missed out on European qualification for the first time in 25 years.
