Man City in advanced talks for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Manchester City are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Borussia Dortmund to sign Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 27-year-old had a stellar season with BVB last term, netting 39 goals in all competitions.

According to The Express, the Citizens are set to break their transfer record in a bid to bring Aubameyang to the Etihad this summer.

The Mancunian giants had a tough time during the previous campaign as they lacked an experienced head to partner Sergio Aguero upfront.

BVB are willing to accept bids in the region of £58m for their asset, despite losing the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Mats Hummels and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the current transfer window.

Aubameyang, who was previously a transfer target for Arsenal and Manchester United, joined Dortmund from Saint-Etienne in 2013.
