Dortmund still waiting on 'concrete' offer for Aubameyang
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly close to joining Arsenal but Borussia Dortmund insist the deal is no foregone conclusion.
Borussia Dortmund are still waiting for a "concrete" offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to sporting director Michael Zorc.
Arsenal close to Aubameyang signing
The striker has been tipped to join Arsenal for a fee in the region of €60 million, with the Gunners eager to sign a replacement for Alexis Sánchez, who is expected to sign for Manchester United.
Arsene Wenger admitted his admiration for Aubameyang on Thursday, prompting Zorc to accuse the Arsenal manager of a lack of respect, but Dortmund's decision to leave the 28-year-old out of their squad for Friday's Bundesliga clash with Hertha Berlin has increased speculation over an imminent deal.
Zorc says Dortmund yet to receive genuine offer
However, Zorc insists they have yet to receive a genuine offer and says Aubameyang could remain a Dortmund player beyond the transfer window if he shows enough commitment.
"We still plan with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang," he told Eurosport. "There is a way back into the team, even if it needs some professionalism now and for someone to admit that a mistake was made in some situations.
"There is nothing really concrete on the table. There's a lot of rubbish."
Aubameyang had been linked with a move to the Chinese Super League before Arsenal's interest emerged.
The Gabon international has scored 13 goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances this season.
