Poor Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 27 year old has really built himself to be one of the most lethal strikers playing in European football at the moment, so his lifelong dream of playing for Real Madrid has been realistic.
Unfortunately, according to SportBild, the dream is pretty much dead because Zinedine Zidane isn’t interested, so Aubameyang would have to look to other clubs like Manchester City or PSG instead.
Although Aubameyang’s name has been discussed internally at Madrid, he doesn’t fit Zidane’s profile and so the club won’t be making a move in the summer. Given that Zidane has been very successful since taking over at Madrid, it doesn’t look like the manager going anywhere soon.
SportBild say Manchester City remain interested in the player, with Pep Guardiola obviously being well aware of Aubameyang’s talents. PSG are said to be ‘hottest’ in the race, but the speedy striker is ‘on the list’ for Guardiola at City.
If Manchester City interest is genuine then Real Madrid having no interest would obviously be a huge boost, given the player’s preference for the Spanish club.
