Chelsea returns to the charge for Aubameyang and includes a player in the operation!

This is a file that has been at a standstill for several days now. Barça, which wants to sell Aubameyang to reduce its payroll, has still not agreed with the Blues on the transfer compensation. A few days ago, Blaugrana priced Aubameyang at around 25m to let him go. Barça would also have revised its price upwards this week.

Barcelona demand 30 million for Aubameyang!

According to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea would have almost agreed with the Gabonese international on his salary demands in the last hours. The only problem is that the Blues absolutely do not want to pay the 30 million demanded by Barça. A price deemed “crazy” on the London side. Chelsea would be willing to pay around €15m, but no more. The latter would have offered 18 million euros for the former Arsenal player according to The Athletic. Marcos Alonso would go the other way and be included in the deal. It remains to be seen whether Barça will agree to revise its ambitions downwards.

Chelsea have almost agreed personal terms with Pierre Aubameyang in the last 24h, but have no intention to pay crazy money to Barcelona. No way to close deal for €30m. ?? #CFC
