Chelsea keen to get rid of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; eyeing transfer to Saudi clubs

The Blues are insisting the Gabon striker join Saudi club

Fabrizio Romano claims that Chelsea are adamant about selling Pierre Aubameyang to Saudi clubs. The club are still attempting to make it happen during negotiations, which are still in their infancy.

With regard to a probable summer transfer from Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not far from negotiations with Al-Ahli Saudi FC and Al-Shabab FC.

The striker is anticipated to depart the London club during the summer, which means they need to make money by selling him before June 30.

Aubameyang could be willing to spend an additional campaign in Europe, but according to Sports Zone, no club has formally shown a desire to sign him.

Aubameyang stated his desire to go back to Barcelona in the past month, and Fabrizio Romano said that the attacker was "100%" likely to depart Chelsea.

Barcelona were willing to sign him, but a deal would depend on their resources.

A year after selling him for €12 million, according to Romano, the only chance for Barcelona to get Aubameyang back is to get him on a free transfer with a lower wage.

Aubameyang contacted his former Barcelona colleagues and club boss Xavi to express his desire to return and his willingness to accept a pay cut.

Even though Chelsea paid an eight-figure sum for him a year ago, they are unwilling to let him leave without compensation.

Aubameyang made his final game of the campaign against Arsenal, where he was humiliated by being taken off at halftime due to a subpar performance.

It's understandable why the striker, who only managed to score three goals in 2022–23, wanted to return to Barcelona, where he had 13 goals in half a season. Moving to Saudi Arabia might be more feasible.
