Aubameyang hands Dortmund a transfer request

CAIRO - 17 January 2018: Gabonese forward Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has handed Borussia Dortmund’s officials a transfer request, according to information published on Tuesday by Bild newspaper.

Dortmund is willing to let him go if he receives an offer of at least €70 million.

Aubameyang, 28 years old and with a contract until 2021, is Dortmund's top scorer but has had problems due to repeated acts of indiscipline.

As a result of Aubameyang's last incidence of indiscipline, the player was not included in last Sunday's match, in which Dortmund drew without goals against Stuttgart.

Dortmund coach Peter Stöger forced Aubameyang to participate in the training before the match and then informed him that he would not be in the squad.

In addition, Dortmund imposed on Aubameyang a fine of more than €100,000, according to the Bild.

Many reports have been spread that Arsenal is preparing an offer to sign the African striker. Arsenal offers their striker Oliver Giroud as part of the signing.
