According to Sky Sports, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been sidelined at Chelsea, is attracting interest from four Saudi clubs, including Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, who are considered potential destinations for the striker.
Aubameyang, who joined Chelsea during the last summer transfer window, is facing the possibility of leaving the club following a disappointing season.
He has struggled to make an impact and has been largely ineffective as Chelsea faced difficulties in finding the back of the net.

The Gabon star had a disappointing season, managing to score only one goal in the Premier League. His lackluster performance has prompted interest from Saudi clubs, as well as Barcelona, Inter Milan, and AC Milan.
The Blues are looking to offload the 33-year-old and reduce the size of their squad to recoup some financial losses.
Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has invested significant funds in recent transfers but has yet to secure a clinical striker who can address the team’s scoring issues.
The club is keen to acquire a quality forward for the upcoming season, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen being linked to a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

Saudi clubs, known for their ability to attract top players, could potentially entice the former Arsenal striker.
While other interested teams may find it challenging to compete with the lucrative salaries offered by Middle Eastern clubs, Aubameyang will need to decide whether he prefers to continue playing in Europe or make a move to Saudi Arabia.

A mutual parting of ways seems to be the best solution for both Chelsea and the striker, as their time together has not been successful. Exploring new opportunities appears to be the way forward.
