Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33‧ Chelsea) has been linked with the American Major League Soccer (MLS). Why?
Chelsea recently announced the final 25-man roster ahead of the first leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in the 2022-23 season against Borussia Dortmund.
Director Graham Porter decided to leave Aubameyang out. Then, in a press conference, he explained, “It was my decision and it was difficult. I can understand Aubameyang’s disappointment. He did nothing wrong.”
Aubameyang went on vacation immediately after the shock. The British ‘Telegraph’ explained, “Aubameyang left Milan immediately, shocked and disappointed by the club’s decision to exclude him from the UCL 메이저사이트squad.”
Then he started receiving love calls from MLS. In particular, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) is active. Spain’s ‘Relevo’ even announced that Chelsea and LAFC are in the process of negotiating a transfer.
Why MLS? The British ‘Evening Standard’ said on the 7th (Korean time), “Aubameyang played for Barcelona and Chelsea this season, so he could not transfer to another place in the winter transfer window. But MLS is possible. The MLS transfer window is until April. “he said.
According to the rules of the International Football Federation (FIFA), a soccer player can only register for 3 teams during a season and can compete for 2 teams. However, according to FIFA’s separate regulations, additional registration and participation may be made in other league schedules.
It is similar to the case of Hwang Ui-jo. Hwang Eui-jo recently terminated his lease contract with Olympiacos (Greece) and moved to FC Seoul on loan. He played for Girondins Bordeaux (France) and Olympiacos this season, so he was unable to play for his original team, Nottingham Forest (England). As a result, there were options for the K-League, J-League, and MLS, and I chose FC Seoul.
As such, Aubameyang, who was excluded from Chelsea’s plan, must go to MLS to play the rest of the season. LAFC is known to be pushing for the signing of Aubameyang after Gareth Bale announced his retirement.
However, it is unknown whether Aubameyang will accept MLS. ‘Evening Standard’ said, “Aubameyang needs persuasion to move to the US stage. He still considers himself a top-notch player.”
