Chelsea could yet pull off a staggering double transfer for Barcelona duo Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer as Todd Boehly continues to look for all possible options to please Thomas Tuchel.
There are ongoing talks for both players, football.london understands, and there is just as good a chance that both deals get done as neither do, as things stand. De Jong negotiations have been complicated by his wage issue at Barcelona but he would be open to a move if it was to transpire and Aubameyang is also interested in returning to London if a deal was reached.
The thing that holds both deals up is that there is just as much willingness to stay in Spain. Had Barcelona not been plummeted into ongoing financial turmoil then perhaps neither transfer would even be discussed, and it's this that makes proceeding extremely hard.
