Aubameyang: I've spoken to Dembele about Barcelona contract

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is urging Ousmane Dembele to sign a new contract with Barcelona.

Dembele is out of contract in the summer and has not yet agreed an extension, but Aubameyang would like him to prolong his stay.

"We've spoken about it but it will be his decision," Aubameyang said of Dembele's future. "I would like him to stay for a year or two more. I am really happy playing with him."

Auba added: "He's good, since I have arrived he's training really well and doing well. He's setting up goals. I didn't have any doubts because I have known him for years. I provide the smiles because the most important thing is that he's happy!"

Aubameyang, who has scored six goals for Barça already, was speaking ahead of the game against Galatasaray in the Europa League. The first leg ended 0-0 to Barça have to win in Istanbul on Thursday.

"We're thinking about ourselves and how we're going to play. The key is to play with more rhythm and intensity to try and surprise them at the back," he said.
