Is there any working Whatsapp client for Ubuntu?
I have been looking for one for a long time now, but I haven't found even one working port of Whatsapp web for ubuntu.
There was one called whatsie if I remember correctly, but now it doesn't work anymore because the version of chrome is old, or something like that.
Thanks in advance! :)

In short, no, and WhatsApp actively shut out third party clients. You can use WhatsApp Web but you must have the official client installed and running on an Android/iOS phone to allow access from web.

I don't use any Whatsapp client on Ubuntu, but from my computer I use Whatsapp web:
https://web.whatsapp.com
You'll have to keep your phone connected, but Windows and Mac clients have the same constraint. And it's an official Whatsapp web site meaning as trustable as Whatsapp phone app. There are plenty of Firefox extensions that work with it.
There is also whatsdesk, an unofficial client for Ubuntu. It appears in KDE Discover results when "Whatsapp" is searched, so you can probably have a look into your software center to. You can also install it with:
sudo snap install whatsdesk
But I have never tested it and it's unofficial, so I would look for users feedback first...

On my Ubuntu 16.04.5LTS system, apt-cache search shows me:
$ apt-cache search whatsapp
iwatch - realtime filesystem monitoring program using inotify
python-yowsup - library to implement a WhatsApp client
yowsup-cli - command line tool that acts as WhatsApp client
Have you tried yowsup-cli?
