Dortmund set deadline for Aubameyang transfer amid Chelsea interest

Borussia Dortmund CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, has told clubs hoping to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, that they have only a few days to open talks with them.

Aubameyang, who finished last season as the Bundesliga top scorer, is reportedly being pursued by Chelsea and AC Milan.

The 28-year-old is expected to cost around €80million.

Watzke confirms there have been no offers for the striker and there is no much time left for negotiations.

“We have not had any offers,” he told Welt am Sonntag

“We will wait a few more days but not long anymore.

“We have told Aubameyang: ‘if you want to move and have a club ready to meet our conditions, come to us and we can will talk about it’. But we also explained that this is only possible within a certain window of time. We must find a replacement, which is difficult, if not impossible.

“Personally, I would prefer he stay with us, but there are a few clubs on this planet where he can obviously earn more.”
