Chelsea star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has begun discussions to terminate his contract at the club, which would allow him to join a new side on a free transfer in the summer window. That's according to Sport, which reports that the striker is keen to leave the Blues in the coming weeks.
While that would pave the way for a potential move to Barcelona, that isn't the plan for the Blues at this moment in time. The report adds that the club are unwilling to facilitate this exit at the moment, given the amount of money they paid to sign the striker last summer.
However, it does show a willingness from Aubameyang to facilitate the switch, which could make an exit easier for the west London club. That could be key for them before Mauricio Pochettino is set to take over, with the former Tottenham boss the clear favourite to become the next head coach.
