Out-of-favour Chelsea star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has set his sights firmly on a move back to Spain with Barcelona, according to reports.
Frontman Aubameyang, of course, has endured something of a nightmare campaign to date.
After tumbling down the attacking pecking order at Stamford Bridge under the watch of Graham Potter, the former Arsenal standout has been afforded starts in a paltry total of four of Chelsea’s 27 Premier League outings to date.
Such woes even led to widespread reports that Aubameyang was set to depart west London mid-season, less than six months on from linking up with the Blues.
In the end, he ultimately stayed put, but a summer divorce between the parties now looks a near inevitability.
And, if the latest word stemming from Spain on Saturday is anything to go by, it would appear that the 33-year-old has one landing spot and one landing spot only in mind for next season.
As per a report from Diario Sport, Aubameyang – who was spotted celebrating Barca’s recent Clasico victory over Real Madrid with his former teammates – wants to secure a return to the Camp Nou ‘at all costs’.
In fact, it is even suggested that the Gabonese would be willing to forfeit a significant chunk of his wage packet, just to link back up with Xavi Hernandez’s squad.
