Romano, in his CaughtOffside column, has written about what he believes could happen next. He stated that Aubameyang is the right player for Chelsea.
Romano says that Barcelona must sell Aubameyang to be able register Jules Kounde. This could potentially play into Chelsea’s hands, as they seek a better deal. Romano stated that the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang agreement is a strategic game.
“Chelsea are aware that Barcelona needs to sell Jules Kounde to register him and don’t want more than PS15m plus any add-ons. Barca also know that Auba is Thomas Tuchel’s priority choice and they are asking EUR30m.
I believe EUR20m is a fair price for a key striker, considering we are just one week away from the end of transfer market. Barca know that Auba is Thomas Tuchel’s priority choice and are asking EUR30m.
While things didn’t go according to plan for the Belgian international at Stamford Bridge this summer, this Blues team currently doesn’t have a reliable centre-forward.
Aubameyang may not be the best due to his age but he seems a good short-term option to Tuchel and Co. Fans will be eager for this to be resolved soon.
Chelsea surely need to bring in someone up front as soon as possible after letting Romelu Lukaku leave earlier in the summer.
Things didn’t work out for the Belgium international at Stamford Bridge, but this Blues side currently lacks an out-and-out centre-forward they can rely on.
Aubameyang might not be perfect due to his age, but he looks a decent short-term option for Tuchel and co., so fans will no doubt be keen for this to be resolved as soon as possible.
