The Catalan side, who are desperate need to try and raise funds, are open to letting Aubameyang leave, despite only joining the side in January. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Barca want around €30million (£25million) for the attacker, but Xavi wants to keep him.
Romano continues to state that new owner Todd Boehly wants to understand the personal terms of the deal before an official bid is submitted to Barcelona ahead of the transfer deadline.

Aubameyang is reportedly keen on a move to Stamford Bridge that would see him reunite with his former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel is also looking to fill the void that’s been left by Romelu Lukaku returning to Inter Milan on loan and Timo Werner moving back to RB Leipzig for £25million. And Aubameyang is an appealing target thanks to their previous relationship in Germany.
Aubameyang also has a proven track record of netting in the Premier League thanks to his spell at Arsenal.
