Chelsea reportedly contacted Barcelona to sign Aubameyang

Chelsea identify Aubameyang as a potential new striker.

LONDON - Chelsea have reportedly opened talks with Barcelona because they are interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the transfer window closes. Chelsea have secured the signature of Raheem Sterling. But Thomas Tuchel wants to add another striker to his squad, after Romelu Lukaku was loaned out to Inter Milan.


Aubameyang wants to stay at Barcelona after joining in February. But the Gabon international is one of a number of players who are looking to be sold so that Barcelona's management can raise money to buy new players.


Quoted from the Daily Mail , Thursday (4/8/2022), Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, said that Chelsea identified Aubameyang as a potential new striker and had contacted Barcelona to start negotiations. Chelsea's new owner, Todd Boehly, held talks with Barcelona's top brass earlier this summer to discuss a potential transfer.

The English Premier League giant has not offered an official proposal for the former Arsenal player. But Tuchel has a close relationship with Aubameyang because he was together at Dortmund. Chelsea could take advantage of the tie.

Boehly will also go out of his way to give Tuchel what he wants, including left-back, right-back, centre-back, midfielder and forward. However, Boehly found it difficult to negotiate, after several times losing competitiveness with other clubs in recruiting players. Chelsea lost the competition to Barcelona in signing Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, most recently Jules Kunde
