China eyes Dortmund star striker
Print Edition
AT least two Chinese sides are chasing the signature of Borussia Dortmund’s prolific striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in what could be an Asian-record transfer.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs all over Europe but he could end up in the money-rich Chinese Super League (CSL) with Fabio Cannavaro’s Guangzhou Evergrande leading the race to snare him.
Borrusia Dortmund, for whom the Gabon forward has hit 13 Bundesliga goals so far this season, has dismissed the reports as speculation.
Citing an unnamed source from Beijing Guo’an, Xinhua news agency said that the CSL club had recently been “close to signing” Aubameyang following more than two months of negotiations. But Guo’an missed out at the last moment after Guangzhou Evergrande, the reigning CSL champion, stepped in with a 70 million euros (US$84 million) offer according to Beijing Youth Daily.
The newspaper claims Evergrande is prepared to pay wages of 18 million euros a year to Aubameyang, about 345,000 euros a week, and suggests that a deal has been reached for Aubameyang to move in the summer.
