The rapid attacker joined Signal Iduna Park from Saint-Etienne two years ago and was one of the positive aspects of BVB’s topsy-turvy 2014-15, scoring 25 goals in 46 appearances.
Aubameyang’s performances have roused interest from Premier League title fighters Arsenal and Ligue 1 champions PSG, both of whom are in the market for a new forward.
But Dortmund CEO Watzke claims new coach Thomas Tuchel will not be stripped of the versatile attacker, despite being without Champions League football for 2015-16.
“Aubameyang stays with us this season,” the club chief told Bild am Sonntag amid rumours that Arsenal are willing to bid €40 million. “He’s not for sale!”
The Gabon international is reportedly set to be offered a new contract – which currently runs out in 2018 – and will see his salary increased by €1m.
With Ciro Immobile loaned to Sevilla for the season, Dortmund are throwing their faith behind Aubameyang as their attacking star this coming campaign.
