Man City target Aubameyang hits out at Real Madrid rumours

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has played down claims he would only leave Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid.

The reigning Bundesliga and African Player of the Year continues to be linked with a possible summer transfer with Spanish giants Real and Manchester City both being mentioned.

Aubameyang recently said in an interview that he would follow his grandfather's dream by playing in Spain while also indicating that it was his boyhood objective to one day play for Madrid.

Aubameyang then posted the following on Twitter:
