Barcelona 'make Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a top target for the summer' with the Chelsea outcast keen on a Nou Camp return... with deal for Liverpool's Robert Firmino already agreed when his contract ends

Barcelona have reportedly made Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang their top striker target this summer - with Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino already on his way.

The LaLiga champions-elect want to sign Aubameyang, having only sold him to Chelsea last September.

Aubameyang, 33, was a popular figure in the Barcelona dressing room and would offer competition to Robert Lewandowski in the centre forward positions.

Sky Sports report that manager Xavi sees enough differences in their playing styles to put Aubameyang top of their shortlist of attacking players for the summer.

However, the club’s well-documented financial problems may preclude a deal, with Brazilian Firmino a cheaper option with his Liverpool contract set to expire in June.
