Barcelona are only targeting the Chelsea player to become the coating player Robert Lewandowski at the front.

Aubameyang joined Barcelona in the middle of the 2022 season. He then moved to Chelsea in the June transfer market last year for 10.3 million.

The Blaugrana needed an additional striker after Memphis Depay's death to Atletico Madrid in January. Practically Xavi Hernandez's squad only had one pure striker, namely Lewandowski.

With Aubameyang's contract remaining one year, Chelsea expects fresh funding from the player's departure to close their new big financial budget in the two transfer markets this season.

Launching Sky Sports, the former Arsenal captain was not included in the Chelsea scheme.

Apart from Barcelona, Aubameyang is currently being monitored by Italian and German clubs. But the player is more inclined to reunite with his old club, Barcelona.

Currently, Barcelona is preparing a budget plan to avoid financial fair play (FFP) to redeem Aubameyang and try to explore the possibility of returning Lionel Messi to the Camp Nou stadium.

With Chelsea, Aubameyang only has 20 matches in all competitions. Ten of them started the team and scored three goals.
