Aubameyang Calls 2022 Chelsea Switch ‘A F*****g Big Mistake’ in New Interview

He says personal turmoil at Barcelona left Chelsea as his sole escape.

Overview

  • The Marseille striker told Canal+ he regrets the move, calling it a "f*****g big mistake."
  • He said a violent home break-in and Barcelona's need to sell meant Chelsea was the only concrete offer.
  • He joined to reunite with Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked about six days later, derailing the plan.
  • His Chelsea stint yielded three goals in 21 games, and Graham Potter later omitted him from the Champions League squad.
  • After a free transfer to Marseille in 2023, he revived his form, with Goal reporting 30 goals in his first season and a Europa League scoring record.
