Aubameyang, the “super signing” in the air: this afternoon, Barça-Chelsea summit

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangthe “superfichaje”, as he called it Xavi for his exceptional performance last season at the Barça (13 goals in 23 games), it could be seen and not seen. The Chelsea of the volcanic Tuchel presses for the Gabonese and, according to different information, could present an offer close to 25 million euros. As confirmed by AS, this afternoon there is a scheduled meeting between Chelsea-Barça and the player’s agents. The decision will not be easy.

Barça needs money and 25 million is a lot, even more so if you take into account that Aubamayeng is not going to start, not even remotely, this season. The signing of Lewandowski has changed his role because the Pole, number nine by ‘decree’ as he himself said The door when he took it from Memphis, is indisputable. Not only that. Ansu y Ferran Torres They know how to move in the ‘nine’ position and could also cover eventual casualties of the former player of the Bayern and they are players who need minutes. The first, due to his long inactivity. The second, because it has cost more than 60 million euros. Barça, then, as a club, can afford to do without him. Mateu Alemany gave the green light to Eugene Boots, representative of his confidence who already participated in his signing when he arrived from Arsenal, to bring offers. For homework you can also count on Decowho was also in that operation, since he knew Aubameyang from his time as technical secretary at the Gabonese Football Federation.

However, the sale has some opposition. Though Xavi preferred to Morata last winter because he considered that he moved better with his back to the game than Aubameyang, and that Aubameyang had problems in short spaces, his performance convinced him and he knows that he has a specialist. In just ten minutes on the field against Ray almost solved the match. Xavi, however, will accept the club’s decision, among other things because his departure may facilitate the arrival of the right-back and Mark Alonso.

Basically, the final decision will be made by Aubameyang, who is aware that he will not play continuously with Lewandowski in front, but who may also think that it will be difficult for him in the Chelsea con Havetz o Sterling, for instance. In Barcelona, ​​moreover, he lives comfortably and his salary has improved this year. Take him out of his shelter in Sitges It won’t be easy either. It will depend on his ambition to play more and to be a “super signing” again in London.
