Chelsea outcast Aubameyang celebrates Barcelona’s El Clasico win in dressing room as he nears transfer exit


CHELSEA striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrated with his former Barcelona team-mates after the club’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid on Sunday.

The 33-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge in recent months, posed for a selfie with Ferran Torres inside the home dressing room after the crunch clash at the Nou Camp.

That is despite the fact that he is still registered as a Chelsea player.

Aubameyang has played just 123 minutes of football for the Blues so far this year.

He was left out of Graham Potter’s Champions League squad completely following Chelsea’s January spending spree.

And he is yet to start a game for the club in 2023.

As a result, the striker has become increasingly ostracised from the first team.

Aubameyang, who joined Chelsea in a £10million transfer from Barcelona on transfer deadline day in September, had hoped to return to the Nou Camp during the January transfer window.

However, an important La Liga rule stopped the move from happening.

He is now expected to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Aubameyang still has an excellent relationship with the Barcelona board and players as well as manager Xavi.

The Gabon international joined Barcelona on a free transfer in January 2022 after his Arsenal contract was terminated.

He scored 13 goals in 24 appearances for the La Liga giants during his time at the club.
