Chelsea hope to get value out of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's potential exit

<p>

Chelsea have made it clear to potential suitors, including Marseille, that they do not want striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave on a free transfer. </p>

<p>

Amid interest from various clubs, Chelsea and Aubameyang are both eager to part ways. The 34-year-old, whose contract expires in 12 months, was one of the first players offered to Saudi Arabia, but a move to the Middle East is not his preferred choice. </p>

<p>

Marseille, a Ligue 1 side, have recently expressed interest in signing Aubameyang. However, they have been informed that they must pay a fee and cover the player's entire wage package, which could pose a challenge for them. </p>

<p>

Marseille hopes that their ability to offer Champions League football might entice Aubameyang to consider joining their team. </p>

<p>

While clubs in Saudi Arabia are willing to meet Chelsea's demands, Aubameyang is hesitant to accept a move to the Middle East, as he hopes to secure a deal with a top European club. </p>

<p>

Barcelona, Aubameyang's former club, have shown admiration for him, but their priorities in the summer transfer window lie elsewhere. </p>

<p>

Aubameyang's representatives are actively exploring options and aim to finalise a deal while Chelsea's first-team, led by Mauricio Pochettino, is on their pre-season tour in the United States. </p>
