Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea finally reach agreement with €30m world class striker
On Thursday, Chelsea met with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s representatives to discuss a possible transfer.
The Blues camp met with Aubameyang’s agents on Thursday. Aubameyang has been linked to a summer transfer move to Chelsea.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer analyst, provided updates on Chelsea’s discussions with Pierre Aubameyang and Barcelona.
Romano thought the meeting on Thursday went quite well:
“Pierre Aubameyang update. Been told meeting with Chelsea on Thursday night was ‘very positive’, personal terms won’t be an issue.
“Chelsea and Auba’s camp are on the same page about contract. It’s now time for talks with Barça – €30m price tag considered too high.”
With Chelsea having agreed personal terms with Aubameyang, the Blues only need to reach terms with Barcelona, and the deal will be a done deal.
Chelsea’s initial bid believed to be around £15m was rejected by Barca last week, and it’s been reported that Chelsea and Barcelona could agree for a fee worth over £23m.
