Chelsea has "opened talks over a shock move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang," as Barcelona wants to offload the veteran forward who previously worked under Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund just six months after signing him.
Chelsea and Barcelona have begun speaking about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Raheem Sterling has already been hired by Chelsea this summer, but Thomas Tuchel wants another forward after Romelu Lukaku went on a loan.
As Aubameyang's future at the Nou Camp is uncertain, Todd Boehly is interested in him.
Sportsmail is aware that Aubameyang wants to remain a Barcelona player, nevertheless.
According to reports, Chelsea and Barcelona are in talks over a potential Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal before the transfer season ends.
Although Raheem Sterling is already employed by Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel is anxious to bolster his offensive lineup in the wake of Romelu Lukaku's departure.
Aubameyang, who only joined Barcelona in February, wants to stay there, but the club is willing to let him go in order to earn money to acquire new players.
Chelsea spotted Aubameyang as a potential new striker and approached Barcelona to start talks, claims Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea is looking to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, therefore they've started negotiations with Barcelona.
Todd Boehly, the new owner of Chelsea, spoke with the leaders of Barcelona early this summer about potential transfers.
The dominant Premier League clubs have not yet submitted a formal bid for the former captain of Arsenal. Chelsea might attempt to take advantage of the fact that Tuchel and Aubameyang are good friends because of their time spent together at Dortmund.
In order to give Tuchel everything he requests, including a left back, right back, center back, midfielder, and forward, Boehly will work to have a transaction approved.
Boehly has not yet had as much success during the summer transfer window as he would have liked.

Because his future at the Nou Camp is uncertain, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly (above) has switched his attention to signing Aubameyang.
This summer, he found it difficult to advance in his discussions with Premier League clubs, and as a result, he missed out on a number of high-profile players after Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia left because they brought greater financial foresight and market expertise to the table.
After Boehly failed to sign Robert Lewandowski, Chelsea decided to turn to Aubameyang.
Instead of joining Tuchel's team, the former Bayern Munich striker chose to sign a £42.5 million agreement with Barcelona.
While at Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel (right) collaborated with Aubameyang (left), and he previously praised the former captain of Arsenal.
Given that he has 68 goals in 128 Premier League games, Aubameyang might be considered a worthwhile choice.
Additionally, he won the Golden Boot in the 2018–19 season, sharing it with Mohamed Salah and Sadio of Liverpool.
Aubameyang's stint in the English Premier League, however, did not go well since Mikel Arteta forced him to leave the Arsenal team.
Aubameyang was chosen by Chelsea after Boehly failed to sign Robert Lewandowski, who chose Barcelona over the Premier League powerhouses.
Three months had passed since Aubameyang last appeared for the Gunners, and Arteta had stripped him of the captaincy when he left the club in February 2022.
The 33-year-old made 163 games for Arsenal and scored 92 goals, but his tenure with the team was also marked by disciplinary issues.
The club "reminded him of his obligations" after the Gabonese international broke COVID-19 regulations by getting a tattoo.
Aubameyang quit Arsenal when Mikel Arteta barred him from the team.
He joined Barcelona and made an immediate impact, scoring 13 goals across all competitions.
Additionally, he frequently arrived late for practice and was sent to the bench as a result.
Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi were two more Arsenal players who experienced Arteta's rejection before Aubameyang.
Even yet, Aubameyang was able to reinvent himself in Barcelona, scoring 13 goals across all competitions to help his new team qualify for the Champions League.
