Borussia Dortmund denied suggestions star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on his way to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola has already lured Ilkay Gundogan away from the Bundesliga club and the former Bayern Munich manager is now believed to have set his sights on the Gabon international as he continues his squad overhaul at City.

Reports from England claim the Premier League outfit has already opened talks over the prolific attacker, with Dortmund allegedly setting a $145 million asking price for Aubameyang.

However , speaking to DPA, BVB press officer Sascha Fligge dismissed those claims.

"We don't know anything about this story," he said. "And we will not comment on every wild transfer rumour this summer."

Aubameyang - who has also been heavily linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United - recently stressed that he is happy at Dortmund, laughing off claims he wants to leave after the departure of Gundogan and Mats Hummels, who joined Bayern Munich.
