Many of the great players that Barcelona have signed in recent periods but for no reason have been let go and let go with complete ease.
It is worth noting that Barcelona started this season very strongly and were able to top the league by winning the first four matches of the league and with more than enjoyable performances.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s time at Barcelona may have been short, but it was remarkably influential. The Gabonese striker joined the Catalan giants in January 2022 and quickly became a fan favorite, scoring 13 goals in just 23 matches in all competitions.
His speed, brilliance and energy revitalized Barcelona’s attack during a difficult period, helping the club secure second place in the Spanish league.
However, his time at Barcelona ended after just eight months when financial constraints forced the club to sell him to Chelsea.
Recently, Aubameyang revealed the profound impact that Barcelona had on his life in an interview that shed light on the personal challenges he faced before joining the Blaugrana.
“Before signing for Barcelona, I was depressed because of my father’s health and I started drinking a lot,” Aubameyang said. “Barcelona gave me an opportunity, and I will always be grateful.”
The Gabonese player added: “I never enjoyed playing football and going to training so much. I even went to training with the team on my rest days; that should tell you a lot. It was unbelievable. I wish I could have stayed for a few more years.”
The player concluded: “I wished Laporta had given me a better chance to continue but in the end he told me that the club’s financial situation did not allow me to continue and forced me to leave. It is a pain in my heart to this day.”
Aubameyang currently plays for Al-Qadisiyah in Saudi Arabia, the club he joined this summer in a deal worth 9 million euros.
