Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang happens to be one of the renowned footballers that plays currently for the Spanish La Liga side, FC Barcelona as a striker.

He is noted for his off-the-ball movement, pace, and finishing. According to credible sources, certain critical personal terms are preventing the Blues and the former Arsenal captain from reaching a consensus with regards to their transfer deal.

At the moment it is said Chelsea is only willing to offer a one-year contract to the Barcelona striker, who demands a term that lasts at least two years.

The 33-year-old Aubameyang and the Blues have agreed to a long-term contract with him in accordance with their general stance on older players.

Before the transfer deadline on Thursday (September 1), it is still hoped that a compromise will be struck and the former Arsenal captain will rejoin the Premier League.

As a dedicated center forward with much experience, Chelsea Boss would be delighted if Aubameyang joined him at Stamford Bridge to provide the needed touch in front of goal.

Aubameyang’s contract at Barcelona is set to expire in 2025, but there is a provision that permits him to revise at the end of the current campaign.

It is interesting to note he previously played for Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund, and the two are still good friends.

The only thing stopping Chelsea now from signing the striker is their reluctance to offer players who are over 30 years long-term contracts because they have had problems doing so in the past.
