CHELSEA are said to be in talks with Barcelona over a potential move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

They are said to have a handful of other irons in the fire, with AC Milan talisman Rafael Leao also believed to be a target for Chelsea as things stand. Chelsea reportedly submitted a bid in the region of £16million in exchange for Aubameyang earlier this week, but Barcelona are said to be holding out for around £25m in order to part ways with the Gabonese striker. The Blues are still believed to be on the lookout for a new first-choice striker, with those in power at Stamford Bridge having failed to source a replacement for Romelu Lukaku in the weeks since the Belgian forward's loan move to Inter Milan earlier this summer.

This has pre-season vibes from City and well it might given most of the players have not seen much action in the opening weeks of the campaign. That was a gift of a goal for Alvarez, but it was more good work from Gomez, who has started very well at left-back. A stretcher has been brought onto the field for the young City defender. Erling Haaland replaces Julian Alvarez, much to the delight of pretty much everyone inside the Camp Nou. He receives a standing ovation from the Camp Nou crowd. The referee awarded City a penalty for a slight trip on Haaland. He just leant back a little too much on that one, but it was not a million miles away. 91,062 fans have crammed into the Camp Nou tonight. Some big cheers for Kevin De Bruyne as he warms up with Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri. There's some concern for Luke Mbete who has gone down after suffering a clash of heads. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) have beaten West Ham and Bournemouth as well as drawing 3-3 with Saudi-backed Newcastle on Sunday afternoon. All proceeds will go towards ALS research.

Another tweeted: "Absolutely disgusting, both the dive from Haaland plus the idiotic decision by the ref." "Haaland doesn't even know how to dive, mf looked back and fell 24hrs after the contact," commented one. A second echoed: "Nah I'm dead this Haaland dive in a charity game is so shameless." Not the way to win fans." Twitter erupted over the moment, with one fan posting: "Haaland wtf man that's the most shameless dive I've ever seen." His right foot appeared to have been clipped slightly by the left knee of Andreas Christensen, but the contact was minimal at best.
