Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke cannot shut the door on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being sold.

Barely hours after Liverpool academy coach Steven Gerrard was urging manager Jurgen Klopp to move for the Gabon star, Watzke was addressing the situation.

He declared: "Since the first time he joined us, I have never had the feeling that Aubameyang could leave us.

"I think he feels a great team is building here. I see how he behaves with players like Dembélé, Reus, Pulisic, and all the others for that matter. That's why I do not think about his departure.

"Afterwards, if Auba feels the desire to leave, we will sit around a table and discuss it.

"But again, I do not feel that this is the case..."
