Borussia Dortmund have issued a hands-off warning in regards to star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang amid interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, according to reports from The Sun.
Aubameyang has been heavily linked with a move away from the Westfalenstadion in recent weeks, with the Gabon international in incredible form for the BVB this season.
And his performances have not gone unnoticed to Europe’s elite, with many eyeing a huge summer raid for his services.
However, Dortmund are reluctant to sell their star attacker and club CEO Hans Joachim Watzke has warned interested parties that Aubameyang will not be leaving anytime soon.

He said: “The position is clear. Auba plays for Borussia Dortmund and the next years he will play at Borussia Dortmund. No question. There is no get-out clause.
“Money is a thing that can solve all other things. But it’s not realistic. Clubs of the Premier League have a lot of money. But so much as to get Aubameyang? It’s a little bit difficult.
“It’s not question of money. We have money. We have no Sheikh. No Roman Abramovich. But we have money. We don’t need money. We need success in playing football.
“Our profession is not to make deals. Our profession is to make a good team and play football. We had all the patience in the world with Aubameyang because we saw the potential in him.”
Meanwhile, Watze also insisted that he will offer Ilkay Gundogan a new deal, with the German midfielder also a target for several big teams across the continent.
He added: “I don’t know if Ilkay will leave this summer. Ilkay is a very important player for us.
“But to be at Borussia is a special thing. We are in the best 10 clubs in Europe and to go to another club is a risk. We want to give him a longer contract.
“We will see what his decision is. But we are very relaxed about this.”
Dortmund will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League round-of-sixteen on Thursday, and another good display could increase their demand even further.
Aubameyang has made 37 appearances in all competitions this term, scoring 32 goals.
