Despite having a successful season domestically, FC Barcelona higher-ups and their fans have all the reasons to remain unsatisfied with the output of their offensive line. To improve this situation, significant changes in this area of the team are expected to take place before the start of the next season.
Catalan’s forward line this season has been plagued with a number of problems. Only Robert Lewandowski has consistently been a part of the first team, while other positions in the attack have been rather unstable due to injury or lack of form.
Lewandowski himself started the season with flying colors but has not been up to his usual standards in the second half of the season.
As a result, the club would have to look for more options in the transfer market to ensure that the team remains competitive even if Lewandowski has to miss matches due to injury or suspension or is going through a poor run of form.
Several players are being considered by the club for this role, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains one of the favorites of the club.
Barcelona have fond memories of the Gabonese striker, as his last stint at the club saw him become a fan favorite at Camp Nou. However, he was sold to Chelsea as the Catalan club faced a difficult economic period, but the striker has not been able to replicate his form in England.
He has only scored 3 goals in 22 games for Chelsea this season and has not been a part of the squad for the last two league games.
The relationship between Aubameyang, his coach Lampard, and the club owner Todd Boehly is broken, as reported by SPORT. As a result, both the player and the club are keen to part ways, and Chelsea have started looking for a new striker.
Meanwhile, the player is doing his best to ensure that he can rejoin Barcelona this summer. However, the report also claims that Chelsea are not willing to let him leave for free making his move complicated to the Catalan capital.
The English club, should they succeed in putting a price on the player, will not be willing to let the player leave the Blues for a price any lower than €4-5 million, regardless of the fact that even that amount would not be able to overturn the loss they have endured as a result of the €11.5 million they paid FC Barcelona in the first place to bring the Gabonese striker to Stamford Bridge.
