Aubameyang reveals which Premier League club he almost joined before Dortmund

 The 26-year-old admitted that the Magpies had offered him more wages than the German club but his
Father persuaded him to take the opportunity to work with then manager, Jurgen Klopp.


“I received an offer from Qatar of €10m per year. If I accepted, my family would be set up for life,” Aubameyang told French magazine L’Equipe.
“We chose to stay at Saint-Etienne, where I got €70,000 per month, knowing that, given my qualities, I could earn money tomorrow.

“The following season, Saint-Etienne wanted to send me to Newcastle.

“We opted for Dortmund, finalist in the Champions League, because my father studied Klopp's game, even though the pay was lower.”
It proved to be a very good decision for Aubameyang as he has 50 Bundesliga goals in 86 matches during his two-and-a-half seasons at the Westfalenstadion.

With various clubs linked now linked with the striker after his incredible season, Aubameyang declared that he would only consider a move to Spanish club Real Madrid if he was to leave Dortmund.
"My childhood dream? To play at Real Madrid," he revealed.
"In 2014, before he died, I promised my grandfather who was from Avila, 110 kilometers from Madrid, that I would play there. It will be complicated, but it sits in a corner of my head.
"When I was a kid, I watched Hugo Sanchez videos. The backflip I sometimes do when I score is actually an homage to him,” he concluded.
