Chelsea have still not made any concrete progress in our efforts to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, despite having agreed personal terms long time ago, with a two-year deal plus an option for a third on the table.

The Blues have maintained continuous dialogue with Barcelona, and while we have offered £15m plus Marcos Alonso, Barca are holding out for £20m plus add-ons and minus Marcos Alonso, as per the Evening Standard and Diario Sport. It is still entirely possible that we’ll reach a compromise over the price, with Thomas Tuchel pushing for a reunion with his former striker at Borussia Dortmund.
