Chelsea will meet with Barcelona today to discuss a shocking high-value deal
The connection between Chelsea and Barcelona has characterized this transfer window for Chelsea supporters, from Todd Boehly and Joan Laporta's initial meeting to the various deals that have (and have not) been completed between the two clubs, to the players they acquired that we desired.
Now it appears as though we might be receiving one from them; according to the Daily Mail, direct discussions concerning Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future will take place between the two teams this afternoon.
Since moving to Catalonia in January, the forward has scored 11 goals in 13 games. However, the arrival of Robert Lewandowski and Barca's pressing financial needs may force them to sell.
The striker has a devoted following, and Thomas Tuchel is eager to have him join the team this year. We are always eager to support Tuchel even though we wouldn't often support the signing of a 33-year-old for many millions of dollars.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is focused on Chelsea's bid for him, which will be welcomed by Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea supporters. On Twitter, Fabrizio Romano asserts that the 33-year-old and Manchester United have not entered into any negotiations.
Additionally, he claims that Man United has been eliminated as a possibility and that Chelsea is his main focus in order to play in the Champions League. This Thursday, there will be a conversation to address personal terms. But Xavi continues to insist on keeping the Gabonese.
Both United and Chelsea have been searching for players to bolster their offensive units. Both organizations have expressed interest in the former Arsenal captain, but it appears that the west London club will prevail in the pursuit of his services.
Aubameyang made a free transfer to Barcelona in January. But a reunion with Tuchel appears set to happen after six months in the Spanish city. During their respective stays at Borussia Dortmund, the pair were together.
It goes without saying that the Blues would benefit from having a number nine on their team. Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz don't seem to have the finishing ability that a number nine brings to the club. The wing-backs have done a wonderful job of creating chances, but a tall, clinical finisher who is equally good in the air, he could help Tuchel’s side bag more goals this season.
