Barcelona

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang confirms: “I’d like to return to Barcelona… but we will see”, he said via DjamLife on TikTok.

Auba will 100% leave Chelsea this summer. Barca are open to re-signing the Gabonese forward, but it depends on Financial Fair Play. The only way a deal can be done for Barca if is there is no transfer fee and the player takes a pay cut.

There’s been a story about a possible swap deal involving Ansu Fati and Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves. Jorge Mendes, Fati’s agent, has been in Barcelona in recent days to discuss his client’s future. He’s a very creative agent and every summer he tries to find his best solutions for players and clubs. Still, at the moment, there is absolutely nothing agreed between Barca and Wolves - Fati would love to stay where he is, but it’s normal for those close to him to discuss options for his future, especially if he’s going to be on the bench and not playing. From Barcelona’s point of view, if they receive an important offer for the player they could allow him to leave this summer. At the moment, though, there is no green light for a swap deal with Wolves. Neves has been discussed internally, but he’s not a priority for Xavi. Neves is one of many options, but the priority in January was Sofyan Amrabat, though that is still not currently advanced either. Financial Fair Play and Lionel Messi’s future will be key for Barca.
