Auba time at Camp Nou

'I'm here!' Aubameyang tells Barcelona fans after delayed signing

"It's Auba time!" declared Barcelona on Wednesday as they signed Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a free agent.

The club's tweet also included a video of Aubameyang declaring "I'm here Barcelona fans! Forca Barca!"

"The player will sign a contract until June 30, 2025," said the club on their web site, adding that the deal for the 32-year-old included a 100 million euros ($113 million) buyout clause.

"I'm very happy, very happy to be here and I'm already looking forward to being on the pitch," Aubameyang told the Barca website.

Barcelona are "one of the biggest clubs in the world and that is why I have signed for Barca'"

His previous club, Arsenal, on Tuesday released Aubameyang. That cleared the way for the striker, who was already in Spain, to sign for Barcelona as a free agent outside the transfer window which closed on Monday night. "It was a very long day, but in the end I'm here, I'm looking forward to it and I'm very happy," he said.
