BREAKING: £160,000 a week Chelsea player has been told to leave Stamford Bridge, even with transfer window now closed
According to reports, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in talks with Los Angeles FC of the MLS about a possible transfer this year.
Relevo claims that even though the transfer window for European teams is closed, LAFC is still trying to sign him.
Since being transferred for £12 million to Chelsea on the final day of the previous summer transfer window, the 33-year-performance old’s has plummeted.
Since moving to West London, he has scored just three goals, two of which came against his old team, AC Milan, in the Champions League.
However, given subsequent events based on Graham Potter’s European squad, those goals will now signify virtually little.
After the club completed a number of January acquisitions, the striker was not included in the updated roster for the competition’s knockout rounds.
In addition to the talented defender Benoit Badiashile, the squad also includes Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Joao Felix, leaving him out of the group that will travel to Borussia Dortmund.
Aubameyang is negotiating to depart
Additionally, it means that Aubameyang, who has recently seemed to lose a lot of favor, won’t be available for Chelsea’s most crucial remaining matches.
Since they played Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, there has been tension between Potter and the former Arsenal player.
Aubameyang was changed in the second half as the manager had to get creative due to injuries. He had been added as a replacement in the first half.
In January, he appeared to be lobbying for a transfer return to Barcelona, but nothing of the sort happened.
Relevo is now saying that leaving Chelsea may be his only chance to escape the nightmare there.
After the season, the Blues will welcome Christopher Nkunku to their team, making the Gabonese player’s chances of seeing action even slimmer.
