Dortmund have fired striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a warning over his
uncertain future.
The Gabon international, who scored 40 goals in 46 games for his German club
last season, has been linked with a £70m move to Chelsea, with AC Milan and
PSG also understood to be interested.
Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke insists the club have yet to
receive an offer for Aubameyang but warned the forward and his potential
suitors that the club will not "wait much longer" for clarity.
Speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Watzke said: "We have told
Auba: 'If you want to move somewhere, and you have a club willing to meet
our demands, then come to us and we'll talk.
"But this will only apply within a certain time window, which is slowly
closing. We would clearly need to get a replacement for him, which is
difficult to impossible in any event.
"We will wait for a couple more days, but not for much longer. There are no
offers on the table for him so far."
Watze admitted he hoped Aubameyang would remain at the club but conceded:
"There are a few clubs on this planet where he can obviously earn more."
Chelsea are in the hunt for a new striker, having decided to listen to
offers for Diego Costa, who - along with Nemanja Matic - will miss the
club's tour of the Far East.
Aubameyang had also been linked with a big-money move to China but the
transfer window there closed on Friday.
