Except for a major surprise, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (34 years old) will not continue at Chelsea. After being ‘reborn’ sportingly at FC Barcelona, the Gabonese striker has not had a good season in his return to the Premier League.
The will of the player and the English club is to separate their paths this summer. The attacker would also love to return to the Barça team, but the culé sports management has other priority plans and still cannot ensure a place for him in the squad led by Xavi Hernández.
‘Auba’, however, has other suitors. As we have been reporting recently, the striker has been tempted by several clubs in Saudi Arabia . In the last few hours, Galatasaray has also shown interest in obtaining his services and has contacted Chelsea to consider their willingness to deliver the letter of freedom to the footballer.
According to ‘The Telegraph’, the proposal has been rejected from the Stamford Bridge offices: the London leaders will try to enter some money in the transfer to recover part of the investment made in September 2022.
The summer window of the transfer market has not yet opened and Chelsea are aware that they have the whole summer ahead of them, that is, they still have room to receive transfer proposals . This option, however, is not contemplated at Barça: the only possibility for Aubameyang to return to the Catalan team is as a free agent, with no transfer fee .
The problems with the ‘fair play’ give little room for maneuver to the Catalan entity and, in addition, there are other demarcations to reinforce in the short term.
