Chelsea must sacrifice £6.1m windfall to grant transfer wish as Mauricio Pochettino plan clear

Todd Boehly has learned exactly how much money Chelsea could miss out on if they allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona this summer. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for a while now as a nightmare debut campaign nears an end.

Aubameyang has featured just 15 times for the Blues in the Premier League this season, directly contributing to only one goal. The Gabon international was brought in under Thomas Tuchel, though the German was sacked less than a fortnight after the summer transfer window.

Under Graham Potter, Aubameyang wasn't been given the time of day – nor was he by Frank Lampard, with both preferring Kai Havertz. While the former Arsenal captain is contractually obliged to remain in west London until the end of next season, he's expected to leave in the coming months.
