Milan are on the prowl for one or two forwards and tested the waters for Pierre-Aubameyang. He joins Mehdi Taremi and Arnaut Danjuma on their current wish list, Sportitalia reports.
The 34-year-old quickly fell out of favor in his first and only season at Chelsea, also due to multiple injuries. He recorded just 21 appearances and scored 3 times. He was often left out of the squad from January onward.
Aubameyang spent three years in the Milan youth academy but didn’t debut with the first team. The Rossoneri loaned him out in consecutive seasons afterward. He starred for Dijon, Lille, and Monaco before being sold to Saint-Etienne in 2012.
According to the publication, his wages are very high, but the management likes the player. Per Relevo, Olympique Marseille are in more advanced talks. However, they haven’t reached agreement with Chelsea at this stage.
Our Take on Milan and Aubameyang
They have already completed two deals with Chelsea, so a trifecta can’t be ruled out. It’d probably be a Bosman move or for a very low fee. It’s a bit odd that they are prioritizing a veteran for the deputy job even though Olivier Giroud isn’t getting any younger.
