Borussia Dortmund have stated that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would not leave the club this summer, insisting that their transfer window is closed.
The 28-year-old striker has been linked with AC Milan and Chelsea, after scoring 31 times in 32 Bundesliga games last season.
But it appears Aubameyang is going to be staying put, with the club’s sporting director Michael Zorc revealing that time has run out for any interested parties.
“It’s quite simple. We opened this window for a certain time frame to realise if the transfer [could be done].
“But we have to put a time limit on the transfer because if he has to leave, we have to replace him. Then it gets difficult the longer the transfer window goes on. That’s more or less the reason to finish it now,” Zorc told Goal on Tuesday.
When asked if the club would consider a sale if a crazy offer came in, Zorc added: “The deadline is over. No [the club wouldn’t consider a mega offer], we are going to plan with him for the new season and our intentions are the same.”
