PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has posted a cryptic message on Instagram amid his possible move to Chelsea.
The striker, 33, appeared to wave goodbye to the Barcelona crowd at the end of their friendly 3-3 draw with Manchester City this week.
On Thursday Aubameyang shared an update showing he is in Paris, despite Barca preparing for a match against Valladolid on Sunday.
Aubameyang filmed himself sitting in a vehicle which did not appear to be one of his luxury sports cars.
He then zoomed in behind him on the Arc de Triomphe, a famous Paris landmark, and captioned the Instagram video: “Sometimes people forget that there is life as well not only football!”
The Gabon international has been subject to transfer interest from Chelsea over the last week.

The Blues have made several bids for Aubameyang with the latest in the region of £17million – still some way short of Barca’s £25m asking price.
But it is believed the Catalan giants could accept the offer as the money would allow them to register summer signing Jules Kounde.
Aubameyang is thought to be open to the switch, which would see him return to London after leaving Arsenal in February.
However, he is not pushing to make a move happen as he is happy playing at the Nou Camp, despite the risk of less game time following the signing of Robert Lewandowski.

Chelsea are running out of time in the transfer window to complete a deal, and are still busy trying to conclude the signings of Wesley Fofana and Anthony Gordon.
Fofana is set to miss Leicester’s trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday having trained with the under-23s all week.
Chelsea are set to make a fourth bid for the centre-back and will be encouraged by the fact the Foxes have lined up Manuel Akanji as his Fofana’s replacement.
