Outspoken striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will have to keep his thoughts to himself when it comes to transfer rumors, as Borussia Dortmund's execs have had enough of his constant remarks about joining other teams.
Borussia Dortmund's Sports VP Michael Zorc has demanded the team's top scorer to keep his head on what really matters, rather than igniting transfer rumors during a complicated moment of the season.
"We spoke for a bit, and I've suggested that he should stop giving interviews about his future and keep his head on our upcoming UEFA Champions League tie," Zorc told local newspaper WAZ.
The striker returned to the team after not being able to lead Gabon to the AFCON title.
Zorc went even further, and decided to reveal why the club asked Aubameyang to stop his remarks about teams such as Bayern -which he would 'never' join- or Real Madrid.
"We have a good relationship, but we had to send a message to everyone inside and outside the team. Our main focus should be about what happens on the pitch, not away from it," Zorc added.
The Black-and-yellow side will face RB Leipzig on Sunday, where Aubameyang will try to increase his lead as the Bundesliga's top scorer.
