The international press continues to reveal more details about the violent robbery suffered by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, FC Barcelona striker, in the early hours of Sunday to Monday. According to The Athletic, one of the thieves broke the Gabonese’s jaw with the butt of a shotgun. In this sense, his transfer to Chelsea is complicated.
This injury would leave him out for more than a month, so it could complicate the negotiations to finalize his departure from Barcelona before the end of the transfer market, tomorrow Thursday. As a result of this unforeseen event, Chelsea, which was the team most interested in hiring Aubameyang, would have gone from requesting a transfer to preferring a loan.
How was the robbery from Aubameyang?
The events occurred after the Barça team’s 4-0 win over Valladolid last Sunday, at the Spotify Camp Nou, for the third date of LaLiga. Despite the fact that he was summoned, the striker, who is 550 years old, did not play any minute.
When they broke into the home, the thieves threatened and beat both Aubameyang and his wife, who received a blow to the head, to get them to open the safe. Some valuables were taken from there, as reported by El País.
The Police of Catalonia opened an investigation to try to identify, locate and arrest the perpetrators of the robbery. This is the second assault this summer on the home of the former Arsenal player. A few weeks ago, a group of thieves also entered his house.
This situation altered Barcelona’s planning when carrying out its last operations for this summer market. And it is that he had the money from the transfer of Aubameyang, as well as the release of his salary, to square the Financial Fair Play of LaLiga.
