After the friendly match against City, the Gabon striker participated in recovery training before heading to the airport while his future was still up in the air.
In the last days of the transfer window, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33) is awaiting word on his future; Chelsea is the Gabonese player’s most likely destination. After the exhibition match against Manchester City on Thursday, the striker participated in recovery training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper before heading to Barcelona-El Prat Airport to board a trip to Paris to handle a personal situation.
According to the most recent reports, Aubameyang’s contract with Chelsea, who will pay him more than Barca, is almost complete. All that is left is for the two clubs to come to an agreement.

Chelsea is aware that they will have to delve deep into their resources to satisfy the demands of coach Thomas Tuchel, a fervent advocate of the purchase of the Gabonese star, for the sale of Aubameyang, who joined for free last February after leaving Arsenal.
Aubameyang scored once more for Barca against City in the friendly while he awaited word on his future, and after being replaced, he thanked the crowd for their support, which was seen as a possible farewell.
Aubameyang’s exit would enable Barca to recruit a full-back to complete this season’s roster, register Jules Koundé in LaLiga, and reduce the first team’s wage budget.
