Chelsea have already found a club in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Chelsea has money and no time. Last summer, the new owners invested 284 million euros to strengthen themselves, notably with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling or Marc Cucurella. But the results were not up to par and Thomas Tuchel was fired in early September. Chosen to succeed him, Graham Potter has already held out a little longer. However, the English press draws up a list of his potential replacements every week. It must be said that the Londoners point to a sad ninth place in the league standings (30 points).

The new management wants to separate from PEA

We are therefore light years away from the objective set by Todd Boelhy and his teams, namely to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool. Finally for the Reds (10th, 29 points), we can say that Chelsea is fighting with them in the soft underbelly of the classification. This winter, the Blues have therefore again broken the bank in an attempt to reverse the trend by recruiting in particular Benoît Badiashile, Mykhaïlo Mudrick, João Félix (loan), Malo Gusto (loaned to OL) or even Enzo Fernandez. At the same time, it became known that the new management was unhappy with some elements and was even ready to part with them.

Divorce recorded between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Chelsea?

Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella were cited. But the two players should end the season in the English capital. Which is not necessarily the case for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Strongly desired by Tuchel, the Gabonese was sacrificed by Barça last summer. After only six months in Catalonia, he was sold so that the Culés could bail out their coffers. Especially since Memphis Depay did not want to leave. PEA, he agreed to leave, because he would have been only Robert Lewandowski’s understudy in Xavi’s mind. Six months after his departure from Arsenal and his arrival in Spain, the former ASSE player therefore found London. But not everything went as planned.

LAFC negotiate with Chelsea

Tuchel left very quickly and Potter gave him no gift. Moreover, since the return of the truce linked to the World Cup, Aubameyang has only started once in his five appearances with Chelsea. On Saturday, he was excluded from the list of players selected to play the Champions League with the Blues. The coup de grace for the center forward (17 matches, 10 starts, 3 goals and 2 assists), clearly invited to leave. But where ? Despite the interest of AC Milan and FC Barcelona, ​​who could not welcome him, because he has already played for them this season and he cannot be registered with a club for the second consecutive time according to the RFEF regulations; the transfer window is over in many European leagues.

But it is not closed everywhere. According Report, the MLS is making eyes at PEA. Los Angeles FC are currently negotiating with Chelsea to obtain the transfer of the Gabonese. And from a regulatory point of view, this should not pose a problem. Although players can only play for two clubs in a season, Aubameyang could move to MLS as the new season is going to start there in the next few days. It remains to be seen whether this new challenge will be able to seduce Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose LAFC wishes to make its new headliner after the departure of Gareth Bale.
