Chelsea set Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang asking price with Blues 'ready to offload striker for £5m' amid interest from Marseille

Chelsea are looking to receive just £5million for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer as the out-of-favour striker edges towards a move to Marseille.

The Gabonese forward arrived at Stamford Bridge in a £12m switch from Barcelona last summer to link up with former boss Thomas Tuchel at the time.

However, following Tuchel's sacking in September, Aubameyang struggled to make an impression under Graham Potter and was left out the Blues' Champions League squad following a number of January arrivals.

Both the player and club are now willing to part ways, and although they do not want to let him leave on a free transfer, Chelsea are reportedly happy to sell Aubameyang on the cheap with Marseille set to offer him an exit route from west London.
