Chelsea insist on including Marcos Alonso in the Aubameyang deal

Talks are ongoing with Barcelona and a definitive decision must be reached on Thursday

FC Barcelona and Chelsea are still negotiating a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but are still unable to find a common ground.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea still want Marcos Alonso to be part of the deal but Barça want the two deals to be separate.

Chelsea value Alonso at €8 million while Barça want €30m for Aubameyang, who joined the club for free in January.

If Alonso is part of the deal, Barça would want at least €20m, which is a figure Chelsea are not willing to match.

Meanwhile, the Premier League side have also asked Barcelona for a medical report after Aubameyang suffered a jaw injury during a robbery earlier this week.

He is expected to be out for up to four weeks, which Chelsea do not consider a problem but they want to have all the information.

Talks continue for a player Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has wanted for a while.
