Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in the process of leaving Borussia Dortmund, according to Gabon coach Jorge Costa.

The 26-year-old has been in sublime form for Dortmund this season, scoring 39 goals in 46 appearances.

Real Madrid, who are reportedly in negotiations with Robert Lewandowski’s agent, are also keen on a move for Aubameyang and are ready to rival United.

Aubameyang was expected to feature for Gabon’s upcoming games against Mauritania and Ivory Coast, but it is now claimed that the striker has asked to be excused as he is in the middle of a transfer.

“Aubameyang has asked not to be selected [for the national team] because he is changing clubs,” Costa told RFI.
