According to reports, The massive Chelsea purge continues with the departure of Aubameyang; Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech are still up for sale. Aubameyang agreed to reunite with his former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, which led to his signing for £12 million at the conclusion of the previous summer's transfer window.
Aubameyang was not included in Graham Potter's Champions League squad for Chelsea's round of 16 matchup with Chelsea after Tuchel was fired just one week after his transfer from Arsenal. In just 15 League matches for Chelsea, Aubameyang scored once, while in six Champions League games, he netted twice.
Saudi Arabia had expressed interest in Aubameyang, but the player was determined to stay in Europe and establish a base for his family. After being excluded from the tour of the United States, Aubameyang returned to Chelsea on Tuesday for preseason training with Lukaku and Ziyech, but his stay was brief.
In addition to Aubameyang, Chelsea has also sold the following players this summer: Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and N'Golo Kante. N'Golo Kante and Cesar Azpilicueta also left the club on free transfers. The club also declared Ethan Ampadu's permanent transfer to Leeds United.
Following Wesley Fofana's ACL injury, which required surgery and will keep him out for a while, Chelsea will make a third attempt to sign midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton, and they must decide whether or not to look for a new defense, according to reports.
