According to Romano, talks between the two European giants have already begun, but there is no official bid on the table yet.Thomas Tuchel's side are also looking towards Red Bull Salzburg forward Benjamin Sesko. However, Manchester United are also in the running for the Slovenian's signature (as per Sky Sports).Here's what Romano tweeted:&quot;Chelsea are now considering Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as potential new striker. Discussions have already started on player side, still no bid to Barcelona. #CFCHe’s one of the names in Chelsea list after meeting for Sesko and other targets. #FCBChelsea supporters on Twitter were less than impressed with their club targeting an aging forward like Aubameyang.

The forward scored 79 goals and provided 17 assists in 95 appearances in all competitions under the German coach.Despite being 33 years old and only joining in January, Aubameyang still finished the 2021-22 season as Barcelona's joint top-scorer. He scored 13 goals in 23 appearances across competitions, which also included a hat-trick against Valencia in a 4-1 win.Chelsea haven't had the best transfer market this time aroundChelsea's transfer business this summer could have been better despite them signing two great players in Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling. The Blues need at least one more defender after seeing centre-backs Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger leave on free transfers earlier in the summer.The Blues were reportedly close to signing left-back Marc Cucurella from Brighton &amp; Hove Albion. However, the Seagulls have since denied those rumors by releasing a statement on their social media which read:&quot;CLUB STATEMENT: MARC CUCURELLA.&quot;Contrary to inaccurate reports from numerous media outlets this evening, no agreement has been reached with any club to sell Marc Cucurella.&quot;Tuchel's side will begin their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with an away game against Everton on Saturday, August 6.
