A particular image that surely made FC Barcelona fans smile went viral at the end of this Monday: Joan Laporta, president of the club, left the Ciudad Deportiva celebrating after having signed Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in the last moments of the winter transfer market.
With a thumbs up and a celebrating fist in the air, Laporta left after signing the contract that will link the player from Gabon to Barcelona. A signing that surprises but that makes clear the club’s intentions to return to competing at the highest level immediately.
Aubameyang’s agent leaked the image of the moment in which the Gabonese player was signing his new contract to officially join Fútbol Club Barcelona.
The winter transfer market for FC Barcelona was notorious: Dani Alves, Ferrán Torres, Adama Traoré and Aubameyang. New and familiar faces. Level additions in the midst of a harsh crisis.
Will Barcelona be able to return to the elite in a short time?
