Aubameyang confirms Chinese offer

By Daily Sports on August 7, 2017

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said Sunday that he was the subject of a big-money offer from China, but his club Borussia Dortmund insist he will not leave this season.

Aubameyang, who is under contract until 2020, confirms in Sunday's edition of Die Welt that there was an offer from an unnamed Chinese club, but Dortmund have said he will not leave in 2017/18.

The 28-year-old had been linked to China's Tianjin Quanjin, who last month signed French striker Anthony Modeste from Dortmund's rivals Cologne in a deal reportedly worth 35 million euros ($41.2m).

"Yes, I had an offer. But I think the Chinese were hard pressed to submit a bid to Borussia Dortmund," said Aubameyang.

"I think the structures are still not as professional as in Europe."

And the Gabon international admits he was tempted.

"It is normal that you think about it, if so much money is offered," he said.

"I know that many people have said that you can not go to China, because the football (there) is a step back."

But I think that anybody would think about it when he gets such an offer.

"The Gabon hotshot, the Bundesliga's top scorer last season with 31 goals, scored in Saturday's German Super Cup home defeat to Bayern Munich.
