On Thursday, Sport reported Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is putting pressure on Todd Boehly to make a good offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
It was also stated Barcelona are ‘obliged to listen’ to all the offers they receive for the 33-year-old.
The same newspaper on Friday says Chelsea ‘continue betting’ on the forward to bolster their attack for this season.
The Blues would need to sign a new striker after allowing Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to join Inter Milan and RB Leipzig respectively. The former Arsenal man is identified as the main target.
Sport explain Barca’s leaders are aware that Xavi Hernández ‘fully trusts’ the player.
In no case does the manager want the Gabon international to be transferred and he sees the attacker as the perfect backup for Robert Lewandowski.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund man is ‘non-transferable’ and Xavi ‘vetoes a possible transfer of Aubameyang’ this summer.
AS also cover Chelsea interest in the forward and add they have ‘begun to draw up a plan to sign him’.
When asked about Aubameyang, the newspaper states Xavi was very clear with Barcelona president Joan Laporta and the club’s sporting leaders that he will “count 100 percent on Auba”.
