Thomas Tuchel wants to seal Barça striker Aubameyang's move to Chelsea soon
He has asked the club to strengthen negotiations and arrive at an agreement.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has called on his club to make a last-ditch effort to close the deal for Aubameyang this weekend. Tuchel is in dire need of a centre-forward.
Aubameyang has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea for three seasons, but there is still no agreement between the clubs despite Chelsea raising their offer to 20 million euros.
Barça this deal to go through to complete Koundé's registration. However, they have asked for patience from the centre-back as they hope to cash in Chelsea's urgency. There is a draught of strikers on the market. Auba is as good as they come given his good goalscoring records in the Premier League and at Barcelona.
The two clubs will be in contact again today in the hope of agreeing on a deal. Sources at the Blaugrana club admit that Aubameyang's departure will likely come to fruition in the last few days of the market.
Tuchel needs him sooner and it remains to be seen if Chelsea will push hard enough to sign him now.
