Jamie Redknapp believes Chelsea may have missed out on a £45million Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'upgrade' as Todd Boehly is reminded of a possible transfer mistake.
The Blues are on the hunt for a new striker before the September 1 deadline and Thomas Tuchel, in particular, seems keen on Barcelona's Aubameyang. football.london understands that Chelsea are 'very confident' in agreeing a move totalling £22m, with there currently being a £4m gap in valuations between the two sides.
The Athletic have reported that the current World Champions' attempt to offer Marcos Alonso in a potential cash-plus-player trade deal has fallen on deaf ears. The Blaugrana want cold, hard cash as they face a real battle to register Jules Kounde before a certain clause in the new signings contract comes into play. Chelsea can potentially walk away from Aubameyang but at this stage of the transfer window, it could be boom or bust in this scenario, with little time left to seek out alternatives.
