Well, you must be wondering why the Frenchman would leave Real Madrid to join Chelsea but there is a big equation behind this. As we mentioned earlier, Aubameyang has publicly stated that he wants to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer in order to take the next step in his career and we all know the mutual interest of the Gabon international and Real Madrid.
Aubameyang could very well replace Benzema at Santiago Bernabeu in the summer and Chelsea could use the opportunity to bring the experienced forward at Stamford Bridge. Benzema might not be the best finisher in the world but he is easily the most complete striker in the world by a distance, and his unselfish foil and ability to operate from a deeper position suits Conte’s system perfectly.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
