Chelsea are continuing to chase Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer but are not yet meeting Barcelona's valuation.
The Blues are on the hunt for a striker as their struggles in front of goal continue at this early stage of the season. Aubameyang only moved to the Nou Camp at the start of this year after being released by Arsenal, but the Catalans could be willing to cash in.
Barcelona are looking to register new signing Jules Kounde and need to raise funds. They are looking for €20million (£17m) before they let Aubameyang go, but so far Chelsea have only offered €14m (£12m), according to French outlet Foot Mercato. The transfer fee remains the only sticking point.
