Inter Milan have reportedly identified Chelsea forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a potential summer transfer target.
Aubameyang has found himself constantly on the move in recent times, representing each of Barcelona and Chelsea since January 2022.
However, despite impressing during his time at the La Liga giants, it has been a different story back in the Premier League with the Blues.
Just three goals have been netted from 10 starts and eight substitute outings in all competitions, the Gabon international barely featuring since the turn of the year.
At a time when Aubameyang has been left out of five of Graham Potter's last seven top-flight squads, it was been claimed that Chelsea are ready to agree to a mutual parting of the ways at the end of the season.

That is likely to appeal to the 33-year-old who will hope to secure a transfer to another top European club, aware that being a free agent will appeal to many suitors.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are taking note of any developments which may occur at Stamford Bridge.
The report acknowledges that the Italian outfit are ready to express an interest in notable players who become available without a transfer fee involved in order to boost their FFP position.
While Inter are well stocked for options in the final third, club officials have already given every indication that Romelu Lukaku will return to parent club Chelsea in the summer.

The Belgium international has netted just five times in all competitions, although suggestions of making his way back to West London came before he scored a hat-trick for his country versus Sweden on Friday.
That said, Aubameyang would cost considerably less than the renewal of Lukaku's loan deal, and it is anticipated that the veteran would be open to another stint in Milan.
Aubameyang spent a short period in the youth system at San Siro before failing to make a first-team appearance for AC Milan, instead going out on loan to Dijon, Lille and Monaco.
He has since spent his career in France, Germany, England and Spain, with a stint in Italy the only one missing from the top five leagues in Europe.
