The arrival of the Gabonese international at Camp Nou gave Barca fans some tremendous memories as he scored goals matches after matches and filled up their number 9 place and also managed to win the hearts of Barca fans.
In light of rumors that a deal has been agreed upon with Manchester United and a contract is simply awaiting the player, it appears as though Barcelona is pushing the player to stay.
Laporta confirmed that he must embrace Barcelona’s recent contract offer else he will be dismissed if he doesn’t reduce his pay and comply with the club’s demands.
The 33-year-old hasn’t held back in declaring his desire to leave the Bundesliga champions during the current transfer window, despite the club’s intentions to keep him or sell him on their own terms.
