Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang announced earlier this month that he had renewed his contract with Borussia Dortmund, although he later denied that the signatures had already been signed. A new commitment at this moment would be surprising, given that the attacker this season caused unrest and was expelled from the selection last month by the former trainer Peter Bosz. Chairman Reinhard Rauball takes it up for the Gabonese.
Aubameyang is still fixed until mid-2020 and is regularly linked to top foreign clubs. According to Rauball, he received many offers and they did not leave him unmoved,”He has done very well over the years. He is friendly, funny and he likes to laugh. But if you know the figures, it is understandable that he has been mentally demolished by the offers”, says the presentations in conversation with Kicker.
Rauball refers to the salaries promised to Aubameyang:”The fact that he does not earn such amounts today is not because we have denied him freedom”, the director emphasises,”It is because of the way in which these clubs and the environment sometimes behave. I know Aubameyang well as a player. He is a building block of our success.
Recently, sports director Michael Zorc recently said that Aubameyang’s lack of rigour is a problem. Bosz put him out of the selection after the rush hour twenty minutes too late on the training,”It has crept into it in recent years, that he was more often late”, Zorc said. Rauball is also being asked:”Or if someone deserves more freedom? The trainer must determine that. But if it’s up to me: yes, reasonable.
