Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has rejected the opportunity to discuss his future again after admitting his previous comments made life "difficult".

The Gabon international induced the wrath of club chiefs last month after claiming he may have to leave Signal Iduna Park to achieve his career goals while he has repeatedly talked of his desire to one day play for Real Madrid to fulfil a promise made to his grandfather.

Aubameyang urged to knuckle down

Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc ordered Aubameyang to concentrate on his football and it seems the 27-year-old has taken his words on board.

When asked about the options open to him in the coming years, Aubameyang told DAZN: "I really don't know, I'm just focused on this season and I don't want to think too much about that right now." 

He added with a smile: "The last weeks were difficult after my last words so I don't want to talk about that."
