Chelsea angry with Aubameyang: player will have to force his return to Barca

Aubameyang has no place in Graham Potter's plans for 2023-24. Barca, on the other hand, would be delighted to have him back. The ideal situation, you might think, for him to swap the Premier League for La Liga. Nothing could be further from the truth.

According to 'Sport', Chelsea are quite annoyed by the rumours between the Gabonese and the 'Cules'. So much so that, if they contact the Blues to ask about the striker, they will find a closed door.

The newspaper claims that Chelsea are not going to make things easy for Aubameyang if they want him back. It didn't sit well with them that he celebrated the victory of FC Barcelona after 'El Clasico' and, even less so, that he offered himself to FC Barcelona afterwards.

The Camp Nou side are aware that it is not going to be easy, but they believe that time will be on their side. If they don't manage to get him on a free transfer, with his contract already expired, they could try a loan deal, although it would be the player who would have to give up a large part of his salary.
