Barcelona striker Aubameyang prefers move to Chelsea over Manchester United

Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reportedly prefers to join Chelsea over Manchester United. 

The Red Devils have been in the market for a new striker, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s future still uncertain and Anthony Martial currently injured. 

They were recently linked with a move for Aubameyang who joined the Catalans in February. 

However, it seems that the 33-year-old prefers to join the West London club rather than moving to Manchester. 

According to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano, Erik ten Hag’s side made enquiries about the Gabon international but he has already agreed personal terms with the Blues. 

It is said that he wants to play in the Champions League which United cannot offer at least this season. 

Aubameyang has spent the majority of his career at Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal where he consistently performed well. 

He joined the Blaugrana in February and made an immediate impact at the Camp Nou, scoring 11 goals in 18 La Liga appearances. 

However, the Spanish giants are ready to sell him in this transfer window due to their difficult financial situation. 

The Gabonese is a prolific goal scorer and would have been a good fit for the Red Devils.  He may be over 30 but he is still capable of delivering 15 to 20 goals per season. 

Manchester United have also been linked with several other forwards recently, including Sasa Kalajdzic, Memphis Depay, Alvaro Morata and Victor Osimhen. 

But it is less certain whether they will be able to secure a deal for any of these players, considering only a few days are remaining of the transfer window.
