Chelsea Preparing Bid For Aubameyang
Chelsea are reportedly keen to sign the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with reports suggesting they are ready to make a 20 million euro bid to secure his services.
So far, there is no offer on the table. Although the two clubs have held talks, the English club are waiting before making their definitive move as reported by Marca.
If a bid were to happen, it would provide Barcelona with an influx of cash that would go straight to their balance sheet given Aubameyang arrived on a free transfer.
Xavi is hoping the striker remains at his disposal, but he knows the club’s current financial situation and understands that a sale would be too good to turn down.
Also, Barcelona’s main goal at this time is to lower their wage bill in order to register Jules Kounde.
Another striker who is nearing the exit door is Memphis Depay.
Barcelona and Juventus are still in talks over the player’s departure, and while the two sides are close, there’s been no agreement for the Dutchman, who has one year remaining on his contract.
