Aubameyang only joined Barcelona from Arsenal in January but is considering his future following the arrival of Robert Lewandowski at Camp Nou. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel maintains a positive relationship of his own with the 33-year-old from their time together at Borussia Dortmund. Tuchel said he is happy with his forward line following the £45m signing of Raheem Sterling and a move for Aubameyang would mean Chelsea would change their transfer plans, which have focused on signing new defenders.

De Jong remains Manchester United’s top target, but the midfielder has been reluctant to move to Old Trafford throughout this transfer window. He is Barcelona’s highest-paid player and is being asked to take a pay cut or leave, with Barca already having a £71m bid accepted by United. The 25-year-old is owed around £17million by the club in deferred wages, which is a complex issue that will need to be resolved. As De Jong weighs up his options, Barcelona have asked Chelsea to match United’s bid. There is a feeling that De Jong could be more open to a move to Stamford Bridge because Chelsea can offer Champions League football, but no contact has been made between the Blues and his representatives. Chelsea have a chance to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay. / Getty Images Any move for De Jong is also complicated by the fact that Chelsea currently have five international midfielders in their squad. They also agreed a £20m deal to sign teenager Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa. Chelsea have been told to keep abreast of the situations surrounding Aubameyang and De Jong, as well as Depay. Barcelona remain in a precarious financial situation ahead of the new season. This is despite spending over £130m in the transfer market this summer and their innovative efforts to raise capital through the sale of intellectual property and merchandising rights. They are desperate to offload players to allow them to sign Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso from Chelsea. Club captain Azpilicueta has told Boehly and Tuchel he wants to leave, but they remain open to keeping him after failing to secure other transfer targets. However, Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Marc Cucurella after agreeing a £52.5m fee with Brighton for the Spanish defender. Frenkie de Jong is another player Barcelona are trying to land at Chelsea, despite interest from Manchester United / Getty Images The transfer remains conditional on young Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill moving in the opposite direction, with a buy-out clause mooted in negotiations. Tuchel wants to sign three more senior defenders after bringing in Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. Leicester’s Wesley Fofana is the only centre-back option currently being investigated by Chelsea, who are in urgent need of strengthening their defense after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers to Real Madrid and Barcelona. But Leicester are asking more than £80m for Fofana. Any move at that price would make the 21-year-old the most expensive centre-back in the world, surpassing the £80m Manchester United paid to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester in 2019.
