Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in talks with Saudi Arabian clubs

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been linked with a summer move away from Chelsea, with a transfer to Saudi Arabia possible.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has struggled for regular game time at Chelsea since joining the club, and he was left out of the club’s Champions League squad as well. According to Fabrizio Romano, the veteran striker is keen on an exit this summer and is in negotiations with Saudi Arabian clubs regarding a summer move.

It will be interesting to see if Aubameyang can secure an agreement with Saudi Arabian clubs in the coming weeks. It is evident that he does not have a future at Chelsea and is unlikely to get ample game time at Stamford Bridge next season. The Blues are keen to cash in on the player as well.

He has been extremely underwhelming upon his return to the Premier League and is clearly not going to get better at this age. It makes sense for him to move to a league with lesser intensity and less quality as well. A move to Saudi Arabia could be ideal for him at this stage of his career.

Furthermore, he is likely to earn a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia compared to the one he has at Chelsea. Meanwhile, the Blues will have to invest in a quality striker. They have struggled to score goals consistently and need to bring in someone who can finish off chances and help them win matches. Meanwhile, Chelsea have confirmed the arrival of Christopher Nkunku.

A reliable finisher should be a top priority for Mauricio Pochettino in the transfer market. Aubameyang has been linked with a return to Barcelona as well. But the Blaugrana are unlikely to spend money on a player who is in the twilight years of his career.

Barcelona need to bring in more depth to their attack. But they should aim for a younger striker with higher potential. Meanwhile, Chelsea have been linked with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in recent weeks.

The 24-year-old Nigerian was one of the best strikers on the planet this past season, and he helped the Italian club win the league title. So Osimhen could prove to be the ideal replacement for Aubameyang.
