Chelsea remain in talks with Barca over Aubameyang?

Chelsea are reportedly still in talks with Barcelona over a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, although there is yet to be a breakthrough in discussions.

Chelsea and Barcelona are reportedly still in discussions over a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

After Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner left Stamford Bridge this summer, Chelsea have been looking to sign a centre-forward before the transfer window closes.

The Blues have identified Aubameyang as a potential target, with the Gabon international behind summer signing Robert Lewandowski in the Barcelona pecking order.

A recent report indicated that both clubs were in advanced talks over a deal that would see the 33-year-old return to the Premier League.

According to Fabrizio Romano, discussions are still ongoing, but Chelsea and Barcelona are still in disagreement as to whether Marcos Alonso should be included in the transfer.

The Blues want to include the left-back in any agreement, while the Catalan giants believe that Aubameyang and Alonso should be involved in two separate deals.

Although there is no breakthrough in discussions, Chelsea and Barcelona will remain in talks in a bid to reach an agreement.
