# City agree deal for Aubameyang

Manchester City have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign highly-rated striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The fee is unknown, but it is presumed to be in the region of the €65m (£50m) that Dortmund reportedly requested.

Romano also says that it is Aubameyang’s contract demands are the current sticking point in the deal, with the Gabon international requesting €12m (£9.2m) per year and his agent wanting €10m (£7.7m) of the proposed transfer fee.

Aubameyang scored 25 Bundesliga goals in 29 appearances last season and has been the subject of interest from La Liga giants Real Madrid.

The 27-year-old could follow in the footsteps of former teammate Ilkay Gundogan, who became the first signing of Pep Guardiola’s tenure at the club earlier this month.

If City meet the agents and players demands, the £55m paid for Kevin De Bruyne last summer could be surpassed and the deal could become a club record transfer.
