Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang regrets leaving FC Barcelona, with competition from Chelsea forcing him to consider a return to La Liga.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wants to return to Barcelona – Everything depends on the transfer of Memphis Depay
Despite having a sensational half-season at Barcelona, the club’s financial problems forced the Catalans to sell Aubameyang to Chelsea for €12m.
The Gabonese did not get many minutes and scored only one goal in the squad at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have made serious inroads in the transfer market both in the summer of 2022 and this winter, and the competition for the striker vacancy is causing Aubameyang major headaches.
He also played in the Premier League for Arsenal, but did not adapt well under Graham Potter. Auba originally came to Chelsea because of his very good relationship with Thomas Tuchel, but the German coach was sacked shortly after his arrival in the Premier League.
Just these days, “Chelsea” loaned Joao Felix until the summer, which makes the competition in the attacking department even more intense.
According to Sport.es, Aubameyang has also discussed a return to Barcelona with Xavi, saying he would accept any salary offer from the La Liga club.

In his previous match at Camp Nou, Aubameyang scored 13 goals and provided an assist in 24 matches.
Barcelona only have two thoroughbred strikers, Robert Lewandowski and Memphis Depay, and Aubameyang’s possible return depends on Dutchman Depay.
MARCA newspaper claims that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in talks over the loan of Memphis Depay. If he really left the Wanda Metropolitano, there would be a chance that Aubameyang would return to Barcelona.
