Aubameyang had a difficult time at Barcelona, where he experienced a home break-in and the club needed to sell a player due to financial constraints. He was given the option to leave, and he chose to move to Chelsea for the sake of his family, despite reservations about the move.

Aubameyang drew parallels with Olivier Giroud's move from Arsenal to Chelsea, but noted that his own experience was different. He is currently playing for Marseille and still guides the Gabon national team as they strive to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
