What Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did to anger Chelsea as Todd Boehly 'ready to rip up contract'

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has left Chelsea 'unhappy' after he travelled to Barcelona for the El Clasico last weekend. The Blues striker was spotted celebrating with his former teammates in the Catalan club's changing room following their injury time win against Real Madrid.

Aubameyang's move to Stamford Bridge has been nothing short of a disaster. The Gabon international was brought back to the Premier League by former manager Thomas Tuchel before the German was sacked just days later by Todd Boehly.

Aubameyang has since been linked with a move to the MLS or even a possible return to Barcelona this summer with his future at Chelsea seriously in doubt after a poor season with the Blues. Since his summer move from Barcelona, Aubameyang has made 19 appearances scoring three goals but it has been extremely clear where Potter's team selection priorities lie.

The 33-year-old was heavily linked with an exit from west London in January, but Potter quickly rebuffed those claims at the time. "No, nothing to report," he said. "He's been training with us this week. He has been supporting his teammates and while he is here, he is doing what he needs to do."

Aubameyang has now reportedly left Chelsea unhappy after returning to Barcelona for the El Clasico last weekend after failing to be selected for the Blues' 2-2 draw against Everton. As the Gabonese striker celebrated with his ex-teammates following the win against Madrid, Aubameyang is said to have suggested that he would like a return to the Nou Camp with the Blues believed to be open to 'ripping up his contract'.

Goal has reported that his actions have angered some figures within Stamford Bridge who are open to terminating his contract at the end of the season. Aubameyang seems keen on a long-term return to the Nou Camp and would be prepared to accept a reduced wage to make it happen.
