Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s move to Chelsea has stalled.
Aubameyang wants a deal for at least two years while Chelsea are only prepared to offer a one season contract, says The Sun.
Aubameyang is 33 and Chelsea are mindful of his age and committing to a long term agreement – broadly in line with their policy on older players.
It is still hoped a compromise will be reached and that the former Arsenal captain will return to the Premier League before next Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Tuchel wants Aubameyang to join him at Stamford Bridge and provide the outlet needed in front of goal as an out-and-out centre forward with bags of experience.
At present Chelsea are relying on the use of so-called “false nines” – using attacking midfielder Kai Havertz or Raheem Sterling in the striker’s usual position.
