The clubs have three weeks left to complete their transfer window. And in Barcelona, time is running out. As a reminder, the Culers have recruited five players: Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Raphinha, Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen. Except that for the moment, they cannot register them. The fault of the rules imposed by LaLiga, in particular in terms of the payroll to be respected.
The Blaugrana are therefore looking to obtain further wage cuts or to sell several elements. The Batavian Frenkie de Jong is also the player most targeted by its leaders. A situation that Chelsea intends to take advantage of. The Blues have even jumped at the chance in Jong’s case. Yesterday, an agreement between the two clubs was announced as imminent.
Tuchel really wants Aubameyang
Recruiting de Jong would nevertheless cost Londoners €80m. Nothing to scare them. Sky Sports indeed claims that the 2021 European champions really want to sign another Blaugrana. This is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33 years old). Arrived in Barcelona last winter, the Gabonese has already been announced in the sights of Chelsea.
The former Gunner, however, would not be tempted by a departure, happy to have settled in Barcelona and to discover a championship that made him dream. But Thomas Tuchel absolutely wants to strengthen his attack, especially after the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. And for the German, signing a striker he had under him at Borussia Dortmund is the best option. To be continued.
