DBasia.news – Chelsea’s desire to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona is almost complete. The Blues even went so far as to spend cash plus their players who had already been submitted to Barcelona
The Athletic report says that Chelsea have offered 18 million euros. Marcos Alonso was also included in the bid proposal.
It was Chelsea’s first official offer to Barcelona. Chelsea’s own interest has been sticking out in the past week.
The offer is actually quite ideal. Although it has not yet reached Barcelona’s request, Chelsea has offered at least one player that Xavi Hernandez has wanted in recent times.
Even though the first offer has been made, this transfer is prone to collapse. The reason, there is a difference of opinion between Chelsea and Barcelona.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona only want cash in Aubameyang’s transfer. The price set is 30 million Euros.
Chelsea will reportedly not increase their cash offer by more than 18 million euros. If it is not approved by Barcelona, then Chelsea will withdraw from the hunt.
Meanwhile, The Athletic explained that Barcelona’s interest in Alonso was not of major urgency.
Some time ago, two Chelsea players, Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta were still Xavi’s urgency to be brought in.
The opportunity to bring in Azpilicueta has been closed because the player has signed a new contract. Alonso is still open, but Barcelona have yet to make an official bid for the player.
If this transfer happens, then Barcelona have enough room to register Jules Kunde in the squad.
The new player who was brought in from Sevilla has not yet been registered by Barcelona due to financial problems. If not, then the opposite.
Barcelona itself is adamant not to let Aubameyang go. However, releasing Aubameyang could be the green light to spare a bit of Barcelona’s salary budget.
