Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will have a medical at Barcelona with the Spanish club hopeful a loan move from Arsenal can be completed.
Talks are ongoing, with no deal yet finalised for the Gabon striker, 32.
Barcelona feared the move was dead earlier on transfer deadline day even though Aubameyang had flown to Spain.
Club president Joan Laporta told El Mundo Deportivo: "He has a house in Sitges [near Barcelona] and everyone knows we would like to have him."
Aubameyang has not played for Arsenal since a disciplinary breach in December.
He had also been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
