Chelsea in Aubameyang contract talks as BVB bid prepared

Chelsea are yet to make a formal bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea have sounded out Aubameyang at Borussia Dortmund and are willing to pay around £7 million a year in wages after tax but have yet to make a formal bid for the £60m-rated 28-year-old.

They retain an interest in Crystal Palace forward Christian Benteke too while Loic Remy is a target for Lille.

Chelsea still want £60m for Diego Costa but have had little above £26m offered by Atletico Madrid so far.
