Chelsea are in talks with Marseille over a possible summer deal for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
After Renan Lodi's signing, Pablo Longoria continues to work behind the scenes to get Marcelino in thehighest possible squad. This is as soon as possible with crucial European fixtures looming very soon. Eager to play in a 4-4-2 the Spanish technician will need firepower in attack, and while negotiations are bogged down with Alexis Sanchez, OM already have a plan B.
Sanchez's replacement
According to information from L'Equipe and the Spanish media Relevo, Olympique de Marseille has looked into Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. In Marcelino's opinion, this is a profile that would welcome the arrival of the Gabonese. He is versatile, able to play in the center but also on the wings and having strong experience at high level.
Aubameyang has spoken to Chelsea about a potential summer move and Sky Sports report that Marseille are definitely interested in signing him. The Ligue 1 club are expected to formalize their approach to signing the former Gabon international. However, it is not yet clear whether a loan will be discussed or a permanent transfer given that Aubameyang has only one year left. On his current contract.
Saudi Arabia, another possible base
The Gabonese striker made 21 appearances in all competitions last season, including 11 starts. He has never played a full game all season. Aubameyang has only scored three goals for Chelsea but impressed at Arsenal, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
OM, however, must overcome several obstacles before signing the Gabonese file. Already, because of his salary. The Saudi Arabian club is interested in offering Pierre Emerick Aubameyang a salary as high as Chelsea, but OM cannot.
As mentioned above, OM will have to compete with otherGabonese. However, it will have the advantage of wanting to settle the issue quickly, which suits Chelsea. It remains to be seen how Pablo Longoria will put together a concrete and viable proposal to bring Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to OM.
