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.
