On Monday, Mundo Deportivo reported Chelsea interest could convince Barcelona’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to change his mind about staying at the Camp Nou, and instead look for a move to Stamford Bridge.
Reports coming out of the UK have said the forward has told Thomas Tuchel he is not willing to join the Blues this summer.
These claims are relayed in today’s Mundo Deportivo, who add the 33-year-old’s camp warn that ‘anything can happen’ before the window closes.
It’s explained the ‘strong interest’ from the English club could give a ‘sudden change’ to the player’s case.
Barca want to sell some of their players to raise funds and don’t deny they are working to carry out an important exit. The former Arsenal man, on the other hand, insists he is happy with life, on and off the pitch, in Spain.
Mundo explain Aubameyang appreciates the offer, but he has other priorities now. This leads to ‘a clash of interests’ between the player and Xavi’s side.
Barcelona are left frustrated with the Frenkie de Jong saga and are considering other options. This, coupled with Chelsea’s ‘strong interest’ has seen Aubameyang’s environment warn ‘anything can happen’ with the attacker before the window closes.
