Chelsea plan to raise their bid for FC Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

According to Nicolò Schira, a journalist specialised in the transfer market, Chelsea are ready to offer a fixed amount of 23 million euros and two more variables to convince Barça to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon striker is now very close to returning to London. The new fees would be favourable to Barça's expectations, and there is already an agreement between Chelsea and the player with a three-season contract.

The transfer would allow Barça to continue reinforcing the squad, as they are still looking to sign full-backs.

Although Barça and Marcos Alonso have an agreement, this operation will be independent of that of the African striker.

The Blues are asking for 10-12 million euros for the fullback, and Barcelona are trying to lower that amount.
