Chelsea and Barcelona will meet for further discussions over the transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this afternoon, with the Blues yet to meet the Catalans’ asking price for the 33-year-old.
Thomas Tuchel is keen to strengthen his attack after the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, with Raheem Sterling the only addition to the frontline so far this summer.
Aubameyang, 33, joined Barcelona on a free transfer last January after Arsenal terminated his contract but Xavi is ready to cash in on the Gabon captain following Robert Lewandowski’s arrival from Bayern Munich.
