Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick AubameyangManchester City's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has hit a snag, with the German club refusing to budge on their £65million valuation of the player. But after instructing scouts to monitor Aubameyang in recent months, Guardiola's admiration of Dortmund’s prize asset is clear. That has placed any potential deal at an impasse - and given Dortmund’s record in recent years, their stance must be taken seriously. City are refusing to pay that amount of money, despite incoming City boss Pep Guardiola's fondness of the striker. And their departures could have a bearing on City’s hopes of landing Aubameyang - with the Bundesliga club reluctant to lose so many star names in the same transfer window.
