Chelsea turn attention to Milan target Aubameyang amid Morata snub

11 lug 2017

Chelsea have turned their attention to Borussia Dortmund striker and AC Milan target Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang after Real Madrid have held firm on their pricing of forward Alvaro Morata, according to Spanish publication Marca.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte missed out on his top target Romelu Lukaku, after the Premier League second top goal-scorer signed for rivals Manchester United for a fee thought to be £75 plus add-ons.

The reports now are suggesting that Conte will look to Bundesliga star Aubameyang after it emerged that La Liga giants Madrid won’t budge on their man Morata.
The Blues will face tough competition for 28-year-old Aubameyang signature, though, as French side Paris Saint-Germain, Serie A club Milan and several sides from the Chinese Super League interested in the players’ services.

Following a disagreement with fiery Conte, it looks as if the Pensioner’s last season’s main forward Diego Costa is set to move on from Stamford Bridge, leaving a vacant spot to fill up-front.
