Chelsea: Aubameyang ready to do anything for a club

Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unlikely to last long in London.

Arrived at Chelsea in September 2022, after a brief stint at FC Barcelona, ​​the 33-year-old striker is no longer in the small papers of the management of the Blues, nor of the coach, Graham Potter (12 Premier League games only, 1 goal ). The Gabonese, who had opportunities this winter but refused to take them, would like to change clubs at the end of the season.

And according to Sport, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be hot for a return to Catalonia, to Barça. Despite a quick stint (January-September 2022), the former Greens striker would have good memories of the leader of La Liga and would even be ready to lower his salary to be able to enter the financial constraints of FC Barcelona. However, the striker does not seem to be a priority track for the Spanish club, busy hoping for a return from Lionel Messi and considering the recruitment of young Brazilian Vitor Roque (18), among others.

Note that Chelsea would be open to the idea of ​​releasing the former Stéphanois from his contract, which extends until 2024.

A deal with Martinez?

According to information from the Spanish journalist Gerard Moreno, which tallies with that of Report, Iñigo Martinez should have less trouble than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang going to FC Barcelona. Indeed, the journalist claims that the 31-year-old central defender has reached an agreement with the Blaugrana club for next season. That said, the transfer will be effective if FC Barcelona has no problem with financial flair-play, and if the Negreira affair does not cause too much harm to the leader of La Liga.

Iñigo Martinez, at the end of his contract in June 2023 with his training, Athletic Bilbao, would like to experience a new environment, after more than four years in the Spanish club. Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City), Juan Foyth (Villarreal), Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich) or even Evan Ndicka (Eintracht Frankfurt) are also targeted in defense.
