"United have asked about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But Aubameyang has an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea, and has done so for a long time," Romano said.
"He wants to play Champions League football, and his priority is Chelsea, so let's see. The Blues could also include Marcos Alonso in the deal, though Barca prefer for this to be discussed separately."
If the move materializes, Aubameyang will be making a return to England, having previously worn the colors of Arsenal in the Premier League.
Even though the 33-year-old has three years left on his contract and has had a solid start to life at the Catalan club after coming for free in January 2022, his future is up in the air
In 24 appearances for Barcelona, the 2015 African Footballer of the Year has scored 13 goals and assisted one.
