Chelsea outcast Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is reportedly willing to lower his salary to return to Barcelona, who are now considering a loan move.
The 33-year-old striker was signed in the summer from Barcelona for £10 million ($12m) in a deal that saw Marcos Alonso head to Camp Nou. Aubameyang has struggled to find his feet at Stamford Bridge, scoring just three times in 18 appearances across all competitions, and has been frozen out of Graham Potter’s plans.
According to Sport, the striker is frustrated with his lack of involvement at Chelsea and is willing to accept a pay cut to head back to Barcelona in the summer. The Liga leaders are said to be considering a one-year loan option for Aubameyang, who caused a stir when he returned to Camp Nou to watch Barca’s Clasico win over Real Madrid before the international break.
