Aubameyang transfer possible – Watzke

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted the club could sell striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer if they receive the right offer.

The Gabonese striker has been linked with Real Madrid amongst other clubs including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, and with Thomas Tuchel’s men struggling for form this season and a doubt for next season’s Champions League, a move is possible.

"Fundamentally and independent of names, there is a pain barrier in football," Watzke told Bild.

"But we are not dealing with that question right now because I can't see anything happening currently.

"If something comes up which strikes him, we'll discuss it. But a transfer is not certain. Auba has a long-term contract.

"We know that Auba is in the spotlight. But BVB are seventh in the UEFA [coefficient] ranking, and in the past four years we have twice won a Champions League group ahead of Real Madrid.

"Not many clubs achieve that. I don't think that there are too many clubs Auba actually wants to join."
