Aubameyang, China is further away. Milan and Chelsea are ready to battle it out...

12 lug 2017

It is a heated summer for strikers as André Silva and Lukaku have already changed shirts (as they joined Milan and United respectively). Others like Alvaro Morata, Nikola Kalinic and PIerre-Emerick Aubameyang are still waiting as their futures are in doubt. Milan, who had been following Morata, have put talks with Kalinic in stand-by as Aubemayang is now the priority.

CHINA IS FURTHER AWAY - Aubameyang is Mirabelli and Fassone's dream. Tianjin Quanjian (Cannavaro's team) have strong interest in him but at the same time, they have now officially signed Anthony Modeste. This could be a clear sign that Aubameyang might not end up in China as the Chinese league transfer window will soon be closing....

MILAN AND CHELSEA ... - No China? Milan will try hard but it has to make sense financially speaking. Fassone and Mirabelli are ready to offer him an 8 million euros per season salary but his dad has been asking for 4 million euros more per season (12 in total). Chelsea are now also present as they failed to sign Romelu Lukaku. With Diego Costa on the outs, Conte's team need a new star striker and this could be Aubameyang even if Chelsea also like Morata and Belotti a lot too. On Instagram, Aubameyang posted a picture of himself dressed in blue and he was next to a private plane (as if he was ready to leave). Is this a sign? Probably not even if Chelsea's kit is also blue. Milan and Chelsea seem ready to battle it out as China now seems a little more distant ....
