As Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appears to have played what may have been his final game for Barcelona, Chelsea’s pursuit of the Gabonese player appears to be gaining steam.

Chelsea recently submitted a £12 million proposal, which Barcelona rejected, but the Blues have since submitted an improved offer.
According to Spanish publication AS, talks have picked up speed recently and all sides believe an agreement might be reached fast.
They claim that Chelsea would offer Aubameyang a total package of £21 million, which is much more than the club’s opening offer but less than the £25 million Barcelona initially sought.
AS claims that Aubameyang’s teammates believe he has completed his final training session with the team.
Aubameyang arrived at Barca’s Ciutat Esportiva facility on Thursday morning for a brief workout following their exhibition match against Man City.
His Chelsea agreement may have been finalized by the time the Barcelona players arrive for another training on Saturday morning as they were granted the day off on Friday.
A video of Aubameyang arriving at Barcelona airport early on Thursday afternoon was shown by Spanish transfer specialist Gerard Romero.
Aubameyang is rumoured to be taking a flight to Paris to visit his family, so he might not have to go back to Barcelona’s training facility until early on Saturday.
Once Chelsea’s purchase agreement has been approved, Aubameyang may be able to fly directly from Paris to London.
