Borussia Dortmund have come out to vehemently deny the transfer rumours involving one of their key players - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon international has been been linked with a world-record transfer from Dortmund to Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese Super League for £127 million.
The transfer rumor was ignited by La Gazetta dello Sport and has since been the main topic of dicussion as far as the transfer market is concerned. Aubameyang has scored 20 goals in 22 appearances for BVB this season, and it was no surprise that the Chinese outfit was reportedly willing to splash such a huge amount of money to lure him to the the Asian nation.
But according to a Dortmund spokesperson, who spoke to DPA (via the Daily Mail), the club has not received any offer from China regarding the 27-year-old star. He said:
''Borussia Dortmund has nothing on the table regarding this matter and we do not deal with hypothetical things.''
The Chinese Super League is fast-becoming a top transfer target for big names in football. SIPG, for instance, boasts of the likes of Oscar and Hulk, not forgetting former Chelsea and Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas, who is their current manager.
