Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has opened up about his desire to return to Barcelona this summer. The striker is set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, on the back of a very disappointing season. And it is likely that he could return to Camp Nou when he is let go by the Blues.
The former Arsenal captain returned to London this past summer after Barcelona were desperately trying to raise funds. He scored 13 goals in 24 games for them, but the arrival of Robert Lewandowski pushed the Gabon striker to leave the club.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wants Barcelona return this summer
The former Borussia Dortmund man was brought in to reunite with Thomas Tuchel at the club. But the German was replaced by Graham Potter, which saw Aubameyang frozen out of the squad. Although the arrival of Frank Lampard has seen him gain a bit more time, his performances on the pitch have been very disappointing to say the least.
As a result, a return to Barcelona, where he has a good relationship with the players and the board, has emerged as an option. The Spanish side are in the market for a backup striker and need to comply with FFP. Given their situation, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be a great option.
However, it remains to be seen whether the La Liga club will be able to register the transfer given their financial constraints.
