The Gabonese forward joined Chelsea last summer after Barca opted to keep Memphis Depay, but his stint with the Blues has been far from successful.

With limited playing time under both Tuchel and Potter, Aubameyang’s future with Chelsea seems uncertain.

Barcelona consider re-signing Aubameyang

Following the sale of Memphis to Atlético de Madrid in January and Barca’s ongoing financial struggles, the Catalan club are contemplating bringing Aubameyang back into the fold.

His previous six-month stint at the club was largely positive, and he could be an affordable option.

However, Barca must first offload several players to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and create room on their wage bill.

Chelsea angered by Barca’s advances

English media outlets like the Daily Mail and The S*n have reported that Chelsea are unhappy with Barca’s recent attempts to connect with Aubameyang.

While the London club are eager to part ways with the forward this summer, they may be inclined to reject any offers from the Blaugrana due to their strained relationship.

Inter Milan could benefit from Chelsea-Barca tensions

This unique situation may open the door for Inter Milan, another club reportedly interested in Aubameyang.

With tensions between Chelsea and Barcelona potentially affecting negotiations, Inter Milan could step in and capitalise on the opportunity.

The saga surrounding Aubameyang’s future is definitely one to watch with some popcorn to hand.
