Paris Saint-Germain are said to be eying a move for Chelsea forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the summer.

Aubameyang, 33, has spent a large portion of his career in London with Arsenal but made the switch to Barcelona last season, where he scored 13 times in 24 matches.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker opened his account with the Blues in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace a few weeks ago but is yet to feature for 90 minutes under Graham Potter.

A change in coach so early in the season may have affected Aubameyang’s standing at the club.

And Footmercato are reporting that the player’s camp have already started talks with the French giants over a potential move in 2023.

The outlet also suggests that Chelsea would not stand in his way should a suitable offer arrive, especially if Aubameyang is not part of Potter’s plans.

His current deal expires in 2024, but with the player’s age and the need to rebuild long-term under the former Brighton coach, PSG may be able to pick up a good deal for the Gabonese international.

Christophe Galtier already has a relationship with Aubameyang as they worked together at Saint-Etienne a decade ago.

The PSG head coach is keen on partnering the 72-cap international with Kylian Mbappe to strengthen his attacking line.
