Barcelona prefer Aubameyang over Firmino

La Liga giants Barcelona are said to have turned down the opportunity to sign Roberto Firmino this summer.

The Brazilian attacker is out of contract at Liverpool when the season concludes.

While Firmino would like to stay in Europe, it appears the Catalan giants are not an option.

Per MARCA, they will not be signing Firmino, as they are happy with their forward options.

Should Barca want a backup to Robert Lewandowski, they may go back for Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The latter spent time at Barca last season, but has flopped at Chelsea this season.
