Aubameyang despite to return to Barcelona but Chelsea aren't interested in selling the 33-year-old to Spanish club

Pierre-Emerick is anxious to join Barcelona but Chelsea does not want to trade him to the Liga team.

This summer, the Blues paid £10 million ($12m) to get the Gabonese striker; as a result, Marcos Alonso left for another club.

Aubameyang, though, has fallen low in Graham Potter's pecking order at Chelsea Bridge after scoring only three goals in 18 games across all leagues and tournaments.

The 33-year-old is reportedly anxious to go back to Camp Nou in order to revitalize his career, but Chelsea will not make it simple for him.

In fact, it has been said that Aubameyang's trip to Camp Nou to witness Barcelona defeat Real Madrid in the Clasico before the break incensed club administration.

The MLS made proposals to Chelsea for Aubameyang in January, but the trade finally fell through.

The possibility of a possible contract termination is not seen to be feasible since Chelsea is certain they will get bids for Aubameyang in the summer. Aubameyang's deal is set to expire in 2024. While Inter are reportedly interested in signing him, Barcelona is still the player's first option.

Although the Catalans struggle to adhere to the FFP requirements stipulated by La Liga, Aubameyang is allegedly willing to accept a wage reduction to join Barcelona.

Given their experience with the acquisition of Alonso in the summer, when they had to wait until deadline day to finalize the deal, Barcelona is well aware that Chelsea are strong negotiators.
