After a sharp U-turn on the transfer fee, Chelsea “agrees” to the transfer in principle.

As the Gabon international approaches the exit door, Mauricio Pochettino is willing to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Chelsea for Marseille without earning a single penny in transfer fees.

Despite initially wanting to pay a transfer fee for the forward, Chelsea is now anticipated to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave the team and sign with Marseille for free.

Ten years after his last appearance with Saint-Etienne in the French top division, the former Arsenal player is about to make a comeback. The fact that the Blues are willing to approve Aubameyang’s exit without receiving any compensation is evidence that the striker has seriously underperformed at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Telegraph, Chelsea initially refused to allow Aubameyang to leave until Marseille agreed to pay a transfer fee. Their U-turn means that although there is still work to be done before the deal can be announced, it is anticipated to be finalized within the next 24 hours as the forward departs for the south of France on Wednesday night.

In reality, Aubameyang’s career has seen little improvement since Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, kicked him out of the first team in late 2021, and this marks the end of a miserable period in his career.

At Barcelona, there was a momentary reprieve where the Gabonese player appeared to be getting closer to playing at his peak. His time at the Camp Nou was cut short, though, when Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea came calling and offered to pay just under £10 million for his services.

Tuchel and Aubameyang had previously collaborated at Borussia Dortmund, but they only played one game together at Chelsea before the latter was relieved of his managerial duties.

Graham Potter, who took over for Tuchel, quickly made the decision to leave Aubameyang off of Chelsea’s 25-man Champions League roster. From the forward’s perspective, his remarks would have hardly been reassuring to read.

Because Pierre is a professional and I know he will be disappointed, I don’t think it will be difficult for him to be absent. We had three people coming in, but two had to leave, so he was the one who lost out.
It was a difficult choice to make.
“.

The last of Aubameyang’s connections with Arsenal were destroyed when he left for Chelsea. This was clear when he returned to the Emirates wearing a blue shirt and was booed at every move as his former teammates won 3-1.

Before that, he faced the Gunners at Stamford Bridge, but this time Arteta came out on top as Arsenal won 1-0 and Aubameyang was sent off after the game with just seven touches.

Given that current Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino clearly views Aubameyang as surplus to requirements, a breakup and a Premier League exit may be best for the striker as he attempts to regain the form that once made him so lethal in front of goal at Arsenal.

An ‘impressive’ £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.

Chelsea are currently in talks to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, a player Thomas Tuchel wants at Bayern Munich.

L’Equipe reports it.
So what about Chelsea and Randal Kolo Muani? We see…

What’s the story?
Well, the French news has mainly focused on Elye Wahi: Chelsea are said to be in talks for a deal to sign Montpellier’s number 21 as well. However, it has been said – within the story – that Chelsea are also in talks to sign Muani.

The French international enjoyed a special 2022/23 season after moving from Nantes to Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.

Muani scored one goal and provided one assist in three World Cup appearances as France reached the final in Qatar.

Remarkably, the 24-year-old also scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in 46 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, for a phenomenal total of 40 goals in almost the same number of games.

Muani’s extraordinary efforts caught the attention of German legend Lothar Matthäus, who hinted at the Frenchman becoming a future great.

The 62-year-old is quoted by Jeunes Footeux: “Kolo Muani is a great asset to the Bundesliga. He is impressive in his gestures, full of composure when looking at opponents’ goal and often has the last word in duels.

“What impresses him the most is that he shines in every game. It’s the sign of future greats.”

Chelsea must do everything for Kolo Muani

In our view, Chelsea should suspend talks to sign Wahi and focus fully on Muani.

The Bondy-born striker is a real handful for any opponent he faces, and he always seems to be involved in the game, no matter how dominant the opponent is, as Matthews said.

Combining superb aerial skills with clever movement and quick feet, Muani also has the pace to instill fear in defenders – he appears to be a truly complete striker, as his incredible numbers prove.

Eintracht Frankfurt are said to want £100million for their No.9 this summer, with Bayern Munich in hiding – according to the Independent – and while that’s a lot to pay for Chelsea, the Blues are expected to pushing for it given his world-class skills. to engage him in the attack.
