Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was physically assaulted during a ‘violent’ armed robbery at his home in Castelldefels, Barcelona on Monday morning, according to reports.
At least four men are alleged to have entered the property at 1am, according to Spanish publication El Pais, who report that the thieves climbed into the garden and threatened both Aubameyang and his wife with firearms and iron bars.
They proceeded to intimidate the victim and his wife with weapons until they managed to open a safe. It is reported that several jewels were taken.
According to several witnesses, the men then fled the scene in a white Audi A3.
Aubameyang and his wife have since submitted statements to local police, who are now trying to identify those responsible for the armed robbery in Castelldefels.
It was widely reported last week that Premier League outfit Chelsea have reportedly agreed to sign Pierre Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona in a deal worth £18 million.
According to Barcelona insider Gerard Romero, the Gabon international was pictured at the airport with the deal to Chelsea reportedly close following ongoing discussions between both parties.
