Pierre Emerick Aubameyang arrived in Barcelona in January of this year, after making his mark with the Arsenal shirt, and with a controversial departure from the London club in the middle. He wore the Blaugrana shirt and the first impressions of him were positive, but the Gabonese went from top to bottom. Due to his irregularity, “Auba” was one step away from moving to Chelsea in the throes of the transfer market, but an episode of insecurity stopped the negotiations.
It happened during the early hours of Monday, when several hooded thieves entered the house with weapons that the footballer shares with his partner in the municipality of Castelldefels, in Barcelona. As soon as you enter the house, the attackers verbally and physically assaulted the couple, asking for access to the safe. Finally, several valuables were taken.
The robbery took place around 01:00 in the morning, and as the newspaper could find out VillageAnother Gabonese player was also present at home: Babanzila Meshak, from Terrassa. After taking jewelry and cash from the safe, the attackers left the area in a white Audi A3, which was later identified by several witnesses.
The truth is that after the fright and regret over the loss of the material, the worst part has come. After submitting your complaint and being treated by a medical team, it was confirmed that Aubameyang had sustained a fractured jaw due to a blow made by one of the thugs with an iron bar. Your medical side points this out the Gabonese would have been absent from the courts for about a month.
From this episode to oblivion, the striker with a past in the ‘Gunners’ will not only struggle to train for a couple of weeks, but also, his arrival at Chelsea could be frustrated. According to David Ornstein, reporter for The Athletic, the player’s injury would lead to a change in the transfer conditions.
In this tug-of-war between the two clubs, the agreement that seemed to have to do with a sale that closed Barcelona on all sides. Now, the “Blues” are pressing to negotiate a loan. The truth is that the 20 million euros that Chelsea were willing to payThey begin to drift further and further away.
Barcelona have already made themselves available
While the Mozos de Escuadra – autonomous police of Catalonia – carry out the relevant investigations, from Barcelona they have already mobilized to help the striker. According to sources close to the player, the Barcelona club would have provided help and support to both the Gabonese and his family. In case of continuation in Spain, ‘Auba’ will carry out his recovery at the hands of the doctors of the ‘Barça’.
It should be noted that this is not the first episode of this type suffered by a Barcelona player in recent times. Gerard Piqué, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Arthur had suffered similar incidents, although fortunately they weren’t in their homes at the time of the robberies. Jordi Alba, for his part, suffered an offense while he was at home, even if he curiously knew it only a few hours after the fact.
Days ago, Robert Lewandowski stole a luxury watch while signing autographs from his car at the entrance to Barcelona’s Ciutat Esportiva. On that occasion a man entered the passenger door and took the piece from the attacker’s wrist. It has a value of about 75 thousand euros. Fortunately, he would be recovered a few minutes later.
