Barcelona have offered Chelsea THREE senior players - including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - in transfer talks this week.

The London Evening Standard says Barca chiefs have told Chelsea they can sign Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay.

New Blues co-owner Todd Boehly has built a positive relationship with Barcelona, despite the LaLiga giants hijacking their deals to sign Jules Kounde and Raphinha this summer.

Former Arsenal captain Aubameyang is said to be open to a return to London, knowing Chelsea are willing to pay much more than what Barca are insisting he accept for the new season.

De Jong, meanwhile, is also keen on Chelsea, given their Champions League status, while Depay has less than a year to run on his deal.

De Jong remains the primary target for Manchester United but the midfielder has been reluctant to move to Old Trafford throughout this transfer window.

He is the highest-paid player at Barcelona and is being asked to reduce his salary or leave, with Barca having already accepted a £71m bid from United.
