Borussia Dortmund sports chief Michael Zorc jumped into the row between CEO Hans Joachim-Watzke and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang branded Watzke a "clown" and accused BVB of snapping Barcelona's hand off regarding the money offered for Ousmane Dembele. The former BVB star was responding to Watzke suggesting Aubameyang left the club for money.

Zorc said, "I think Auba has been out of order. Aki did not say anything bad. We have always stood behind Auba. That's why I cannot understand this reaction.

"What he means by that, since I really know all the backgrounds, I do not know. We have absolutely nothing to reproach ourselves with."
