- Chelsea want fee for Aubameyang
- Marseille interested in signing him
- Chelsea want just €6m
WHAT HAPPENED: Chelsea have communicated to Aubameyang's suitors Marseille that they are unwilling to let him depart on a free transfer this summer. Both the club and the player are keen on parting ways, with the 34-year-old already being offered to Saudi Arabia.
According to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been reached on a three-year contract between the striker and Marseille. However, Chelsea are seeking a fee of €6 million (£5m/$6.7m) from the Ligue 1 side.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Aubameyang's potential move to the south of France represents an opportunity for the Gabon international to reignite his career after a disappointing spell at Chelsea. Marseille, on the other hand, see him as a valuable addition to their squad. Chelsea's insistence on securing a fee reflects their desire to recoup some of the investment they made on Aubameyang, who arrived for £12 million (£10m/$13m) from Barcelona last year.

WHAT NEXT: Marseille will need to weigh up their options and evaluate whether they are willing to meet Chelsea's demands. If successful, Aubameyang's move would provide him with a fresh start and a chance to showcase his talent back in France after his time there with Saint-Etienne.
