Barcelona open to Chelsea move for Aubameyang

Barcelona are open to striking a deal with Chelsea for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to the latest reports.

The ex-Arsenal captain has been linked with a shock return to the Premier League just seven months after arriving in Spain and a reunion with Thomas Tuchel, with whom he shares a close bond from their Borussia Dortmund days.

According to the Press Association, Barca are willing to discuss a potential fee with Chelsea for Aubameyang, pushing for a figure upwards of £20m as they seek to continue to balance the books at Camp Nou.

PA report that the Blagurana will want a permanent transfer and are open to letting him go for the right price, with Chelsea perhaps set to try their luck with a loan offer that would see them cover his wages in full.
