Barcelona and Liverpool but Borussia Dortmund say he
will not be sold.
Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will
not be sold to Barcelona, according to club sporting
director Michael Zorc.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed a stunning start to the campaign
under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, scoring 14 times in as
many games in all competitions.
A report in Mundo Deportivo claimed Barca were interested in
signing the Gabon international in January, once their FIFA-
imposed transfer ban is lifted, while Liverpool have also been
linked with a move now that former Dortmund boss Jurgen
Klopp has taken charge at Anfield.
Zorc, however, has made it clear that Aubameyang is key to the
club's plans, telling Bild: "We are clearly planning with Auba."
Aubameyang, who only signed a new contract with Dortmund
until 2020 in January, has made it clear he is committed to the
club in the past.
"I'm here with all my heart, I never wanted to leave," he said
after extending his current deal.
Klopp has already stated he will not endeavour to bring his
former Dortmund charges to Liverpool before he has had time to
assess his squad.
"I have no intention whatsoever to lure Dortmund's stars to
Liverpool," Klopp told Bild.
"I am not interested in how much money I will be allowed to
spend in January. We will be taking a look at our own players
first."
