The 33-year-old Aubameyang has been closely tracked by Chelsea of late with Tuchel eyeing up reinforcements from the transfer market after parting ways with both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner earlier in the summer.
Aubamayeng appears to have played his final game for Barça in their midweek charity game against the Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday night in which the former Arsenal striker found the back of the net.
Aubameyang has turned in only eight minutes of top flight action in the new campaign for the Camp Nou giants despite his impressive run of form last term which saw him net 13 goals during the second half of the campaign.
