the future of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang It has made a radical change in recent days. His departure to Chelsea seemed totally on track. The footballer agreed and, in fact, celebrating him in the duel against the Manchester City in the duel against the ELA it sounded like a farewell. and to barca It was going to allow him to reach the final part of the market with ‘cash’, as well as with an economic margin, to face the transfers that he still has planned.
However, the violent robbery that occurred at dawn from Sunday to Monday, at his home, has had physical consequences and has changed everything. According to ‘The Athletic’, the Barça striker suffers a broken jaw caused by being hit with a shotgun butt that he was hit by one of the thieves who robbed his house in Castelldefels. At first, the blow did not seem serious, but subsequent medical tests confirmed the break.
This injury may have more than a month off and it has had a direct impact on the negotiations with Chelsea, which has reconsidered hiring the Gabonese striker under the conditions that had been more or less agreed with Barça.
For now, Aubameyang will not train this afternoon with the squad trained by Xavi Hernández and, in fact, he would have to wait several weeks to do so, since the bone must first be consolidated. Even when he’s recovered, he may have to play some games with a protective mask.
Aubameyang, loaned and not transferred
Chelsea’s will, however, continues to be to have the Gabonese striker this season, but they would have offered Barça a different formula. According to the journalist David Ornstein, from ‘The Athletic’, the option that has been considered now would be that of a transfer. Some very different terms, which would allow the salary mass to be released, but not have the money to face the signings of the two full-backs that Barça is looking for.
A little more than 24 hours before the summer transfer market closes, it will be necessary to see how the negotiations between both parties evolve, since Chelsea presses and Barça has many open fronts (Marcos Alonso, Dest, Braithwaite…) as to complicate himself with a case that he already considered closed. Despite having resolved the most urgent case (Jules Koundé), Barça needs that margin to be able to register those who will arrive without having to do more juggling.
