The Gabonese international scored 79 goals in 95 games while playing for Borussia Dortmund under the German manager, probably the most productive stretch of his career.
The Blues has boosted their offer to around €17 million, Barcelona is still seeking for over €20 million for Aubameyang. But the various stakeholders will meet on Tuesday to try and reach a deal that pleases the two teams.
Following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to Inter Milan and RB Leipzig, respectively, it is thought that the Blues are looking to add forward reinforcements.
In spite of the London club’s renewed interest in Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, Ed Aarons of The Guardian reports that Aubameyang is still their top “priority.”
Aubameyang has scored 299 goals in 581 senior club games over the course of his career, demonstrating that he is a prolific scorer at the highest level.
He could be the player Chelsea needs to compete for trophies once more.
