Chelsea ‘have been speaking to’ £185k-a-week star’s agent at Stamford Bridge
According to writer Simon Phillips, Chelsea has been in contact with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s representatives this week.
The striker is a target for the Blues, and according to Phillips, new negotiations have started.
The former Arsenal player has reportedly been offered to Chelsea, who are reportedly “considering” a bid for the 33-year-old, according to Fabrizio Romano of the Evening Standard.
Aubameyang has had a successful time at the Nou Camp, scoring 13 goals in 23 games across all competitions since only switching from the Premier League to La Liga in January.
However, Barcelona has since added Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, which may limit his playing time in the upcoming season.
As a result, a quick return to English football looks increasingly likely. According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are prepared to sign the £185,000 per week star provided Barcelona agrees to let him go.
When asked whether a return to the Premier League could happen for the Gabon international, he told GIVEMESPORT: “It’s definitely got legs; I know for a fact Chelsea have been speaking to his agent this week and fresh talks again with Barcelona, which were in regard to Aubameyang rather than [Frenkie de Jong] [Memphis] Depay, [Marcos] Alonso or any other players.”
