Chelsea and Barcelona will meet on Wednesday, as the two clubs seek to reach an agreement on the transfer fee for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Aubameyang has emerged as a key target for the Blues in recent days as Thomas Tuchel aims to strengthen his faltering front line.
However, agreeing on a fee for the 33-year-old has become an issue in negotiations. Barcelona are believed to want around €30m (£25.3m) for Aubameyang, but Chelsea hope to sign him for a lower figure.

Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is attracting interest from Chelsea
Aubameyang has been used sparingly so far this season by Barcelona following the arrival of Robert Lewandowski.
He came on as a late substitute in his first league match against Rayo Vallecano and did not feature at all in the weekend’s win over Real Sociedad.
However, the striker started Barcelona’s friendly match against Manchester City to raise funds for ALS research on Wednesday, and made an impact by scoring a first-half goal.
His volley beat City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega into his first post, but Aubameyang didn’t seem too interested in celebrating as his team-mates congratulated him.


Aubameyang opted for a low-key celebration after scoring against Man City on Wednesday.


Aubameyang then waved to the crowd as he was substituted after halftime.
He then gave one more indication that this could be his last game in a Barcelona shirt as he waved to the crowd as he was substituted in the second half.
One follower suggested that it was Aubameyang waving goodbye to the Camp Nou crowd ahead of his proposed move to Chelsea.
‘Aubameyang saying goodbye to the Barça fans’, they wrote on Twitter.
If Aubameyang does move to Stamford Bridge, it would be his second spell in London after spending four years at Arsenal.
The Gabonese striker scored 68 Premier League goals for the Gunners and won the Golden Boot alongside Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in 2018-19.
It would also give Aubameyang the opportunity to play with Tuchel again after he worked with the German coach between 2015 and 2017 at Borussia Dortmund.
