But Aubameyang appears to now be edging closer to leaving Stamford Bridge behind.
That's after a report from Sky Sports claimed Marseille were interested in signing the forward.
Furthermore, the Daily Mails have reported the 34-year-old's return was delayed in order to find him a transfer away before the club head to the USA on their preseason tour.
The Ligue 1 side are understood to be preparing a formal approach for the Gabon striker, who was previously the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia
However, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will demand a fee or would allow the ex-Arsenal ace to leave for free - as they have done with club legend Cesar Azpiliqueta and Baba Rahman.
Aubameyang, 34, did not feature in any of Chelsea's final five Premium League matches.
Indeed, following his £12million transfer to the club last summer, he appeared 21 times while playing just 968 minutes - scoring three goals.
Aubameyang had a very difficult season with Chelsea last season. Wishing him alll the best in his new move after exit from Chelsea.
