      Barcelona ‘ask LaLiga about Aubameyang transfer’ with Chelsea ace unable to join ANY other top European club

      by

      PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG could be set for a return to Barcelona just five months after leaving.Spanish outlet Jijantes FC claims the Catalan club have asked La Liga about the salary they would be permitted to offer the Chelsea flop.

      Aubameyang, 33, joined Chelsea from Barca in a £10m deal in summer.
      However, he has scored just once for the club and barely featured under boss Graham Potter.
      Aubameyang has also been linked with Atletico Madrid, but such a move will not be possible in this transfer window.
      Under Fifa rules, players are only allowed to play for two clubs per season.

      The only exception to this rule is for players joining leagues with a different calendar (ie the MLS, which has a 2023 rather than 2022/23 season).
      As Aubameyang came on as a sub for Barcelona on the opening day, he is ruled out of a move to any other major European club.
      For the transfer to go through however, Barca must overcome their own financial crisis.
      The report from Jijantes says that Xavi’s team must get Franck Kessie and Memphis Depay off their books to even have a chance of completing the Aubameyang deal.

      Journalist Fabrizio Romano added that while Barcelona “love” the idea of getting Aubameyang back, any deal will have to be a free transfer.
      The Gabon international and former Arsenal captain enjoyed a fruitful seven months at the Camp Nou in 2022, scoring 13 goals in 23 games.
      However, the marquee signing of Robert Lewandowski coupled with Barca’s financial problems meant all parties decided a move to Chelsea was for the best. More

      Man Utd ‘make Goncalo Ramos and Mohammed Kudus top striker targets as Ten Hag eyes transfer early in summer window’

      by

      But Man Utd will need a new permanent No9 at the end of this season with manager Erik ten Hag keen to do business early.
      The Manchester Evening News report that the club are already eyeing deals for Benfica’s Ramos and Kudus from Ajax.
      Both are reportedly more “attainable” than other options such as Tottenham captain Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Oshimen, who would command large fees.
      Ramos could be a natural replacement for Ronaldo – as he was for Portugal at the World Cup.

      The 21-year-old netted a hat-trick against Switzerland in Qatar and is also enjoying a fine season for Benfica, scoring 15 times and assisting seven goals in 25 games.
      Ten Hag reportedly could also look to shop at his former club Ajax again in the summer, having already brought two of his old players, Lisandro Martinez and Antony, to Old Trafford.
      Left-footed Kudus is a versatile forward capable of playing anywhere in the attack and he has scored 10 goals in 21 games for the Amsterdam giants.
      The Ghanaian also found the net twice at the World Cup and is re-discovering top form after spending five months out injured last season.

      The 22-year-old has been linked with a transfer to Tottenham.
      Money is tight at Man Utd this month after a huge £200million-plus summer outlay, meaning a loan deal for Weghorst is expected to be a stop-gap signing as they wait for summer funds.
      On the possible return of Memphis Depay, MEN suggest that Ten Hag would prefer a more marquee signing than the Barcelona man coming back on a free. More

      The Uruguayan has been a fringe player at Old Trafford and only made his debut at the club against Charlton in the Carabao Cup last night.
      Pellestri made his first appearance as a 84th-minute substitute and made a quick impact as he assisted Marcus Rashford for his second goal in the 3-0 win.
      The appearance was a long-awaited one for the 21-year-old as he has been at the club for two-and-a-half years following his 2020 move from Uruguayan side Penarol.
      During his time at United, he has been on loan twice, and could now be set for another spell away.

      Watford are hoping to sign the prospect on loan in order to boost their promotion hopes, according to The Telegraph.
      However, the Hornet will face competition from other English clubs as well as teams from abroad for his signature.
      LaLiga side Valencia are believed to be one of the clubs interested, but want an option to buy him at the end of a loan deal, according to Sport Witness.
      Manager Slaven Bilic needs more depth in his side following a spate of injuries, including one to star attacker Joao Pedro.

      The initial report has suggested that Pellestri’s agent has come to England to sort his future out before the end of the January transfer window.
      United boss Erik ten Hag has been impressed with the player and judging by his words, it would be surprising to see him let Pellestri leave on a permanent deal.
      He said: “I see a future in him and he is doing really well and we have to see what is the best.
      “He’s progressing, also against Everton (in the behind-closed-doors game) I was really happy with his performance, I was happy with his performance in the World Cup, his progress is really good.
      “He’s come on and had an effect so that’s the next step. I say well done, better, and keep going.” More

      Romeo Beckham made his Brentford B debut in the London Senior Cup
      Amongst the 553 in attendance for the London FA Senior Cup game was father David, who watched on at Park View Road as Brentford ran out 3-2 winners.
      But it wasn’t a straightforward evening for the Inter Miami II loanee.
      He was firstly forced to wait until the second half before making his debut.
      With Brentford trailing 2-1, Beckham was introduced for the final 35 minutes with his substitution helping his side come from behind to claim a late victory.

      And now The Athletic have revealed a few revelations from the game.
      Even before he got onto the pitch he was targeted by Erith and Belvedere boss Grant Duffy.

      And then he was accidently caught in the face by the referee as he defended a throw-in.

      This all came after Beckham hit the bar as his side desperately tried to get back into the game.

      West Ham exploring transfer for Lorient striker Terem Moffi after being snubbed by Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri

      The Hammers revived long-term interest in En-Nesyri, but the Morocco international is not keen on a move to the London Stadium.
      Sevilla, who West Ham knocked out of the Europa League last season, are currently 17th in La Liga.
      En-Nesyri, 25, said: “I want to focus only on Sevilla.
      “It’s not a matter of money. I want to help the team in the worst moments.”

      The striker’s decision has caused the Hammers to pursue other targets, with discussions over a move for Moffi being held.
      Prem rivals Southampton have already seen a bid of £10.6million, with a further £7.1million in add-ons, rejected by the Ligue 1 club.
      Lorient are holding out for around £25million, which could be a hurdle for the Hammers forking out almost £170million during the summer window.
      Only Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have scored more than Moffi’s ten goals in Ligue 1 this season.

      Chelsea in injury crisis as Pulisic is ruled out for ‘a couple of months’ and no time frame on Sterling return

      When asked, Potter confirmed Pulisic will be out for “a couple of months, hopefully less.”
      It adds to an ever-growing list of injuries, with shocking figures revealing they have suffered 97 injuries since the start of last season – more than ANY other team in Europe.
      To make things even worse for Potter and Co, Raheem Sterling also picked up an injury of his own.
      However, Potter could not provide a time frame on when Sterling could return to action.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Both Sterling and Pulisic went off inside 20 minutes in the Premier League clash against Manchester City.
      This was compounded by an injury suffered by Mason Mount in training which ruled him out of the tie, though Mount returned in the 4-0 drubbing in the FA Cup.
      With the addition of Sterling and Pulisic to the treatment room, it now means Chelsea have EIGHT players out injured.
      Among them are a number of key stars for the club, including Reece James and N’Golo Kante.
      Most read in Football
      And the likes of Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja and Edouard Mendy would certainly improve Potter’s selection pool.
      Fortunately, Todd Boehly is not reluctant to splash the cash, with Chelsea announcing the signing of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid earlier today.
      The Felix signing adds to David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Benoit Badiashile, while they have now also leapfrogged Tottenham in the race for right wing-back Pedro Porro. More
