Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has denied reports that he would only leave the Bundesliga giants to join Real Madrid.

The Gabon international has been linked with a move to a number of clubs this summer after scoring 54 goals in 96 league appearances since joining BVB from Saint-Etienne in 2013.

European champions Real Madrid are one of the clubs that have been accredited with an interest in the 27-year-old, but he has denied that they are the only team he would leave Dortmund for.

“I can read everywhere something that I never said ‘only Real Madrid can take me from Dortmund’, I don’t know who transforms my words but I’m sad that people do like they want,” Aubameyang said.

The former AC Milan youngster conceded that he did dream of playing for Los Blancos as a youngster, but he is currently focused on his pre-season preparations with Thomas Tuchel’s side.

He added: “I’m a player for Borussia Dortmund and in any interviews I was honest with you to say that it was my dream since I’m young but not more.”

Dortmund finished second in the Bundesliga table last season and they will hope to have Aubameyang in their starting line-up when they take on Mainz in their first league match of the 2016-17 campaign on August 27.

Tuchel’s men are on offer at 1.40 to begin the season with a victory, while Mainz are priced at 7.50 and the draw is available at 4.75.
