The amount Barcelona will fork out to have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the next one and a half years at Camp Nou has been revealed.
Auba joined the Laliga giants in January this year and has been one of their most consistent performers in a season that started in a slow fashion until the arrival of Xavi Hernandes late last year.
A new report from ElDesmarque claims that the former Arsenal captain’s wages will rise up to as high as €18 million for the upcoming season. This would mean that Gabon international will be pocketing a massive sum of €20 million for a season and a half.

Auba signed a contract with the Blaugrana that runs until the summer of 2025. However, it includes a clause that would allow both parties to terminate their partnership as early as 2023. It also includes a release clause of €100 million.
Having netted ten goals and set up one more in just 16 appearances for the club, the 32-year-old has played a key role in Barca’s rise to the third spot in the La Liga standings.
