"After winning the FA Cup and signing a new contract with Arsenal in 2020, Aubameyang terminated that deal less than 18 months later, due to a falling out with manager Mikel Arteta. The Gabonese goal machine, whose 55.86m Gunners move means he is still one of the top 100 most expensive players of all time, left North London on a free to Barcelona but wound up at Chelsea that same year to the ire of the Emirates Stadium."
"I had a bad moment in Barcelona. I had a home break-in and Barca needed to sell a player me or Memphis Depay and the only thing that was on the table was Chelsea. So I said, OK, for my family, I will move away, even if it's Chelsea.' I was thinking maybe it will be OK, Olivier Giroud went from Arsenal to Chelsea and he had no problems. But for me it was different."
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left Arsenal less than 18 months after signing a new contract following a falling out with manager Mikel Arteta. He moved to Barcelona on a free transfer and scored 13 goals in 24 games, but Barcelona brought in Robert Lewandowski and needed to sell. Chelsea emerged as the only available option, and Aubameyang accepted the move for his family's sake. He reunited with Thomas Tuchel, later calling the reunion a "f**king big mistake," and the pairing lasted only one match before Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea's new owners. He faced strong backlash from Arsenal supporters.
