It’s very promising for Chelsea that there are so many teams interested. And quite astonishing really, given what a season he had.
Aubameyang may prefer to stay in Europe, especially given the standing of some of those nations, but equally he may not get a choice in the matter. If those Saudi clubs are offering money and the European clubs are only interested in picking up Auba on a free with Chelsea cancelling his contract, obviously Chelsea will go with the clubs offering money, even if it’s only a token amount.
