Aubameyang agrees £500k-a-week China contract

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is on the verge
of completing a £71million deal to Chinese
Super League giants Tianjin Quanjian.

The Borussia Dortmund star is one of the most
sought-after strikers in Europe, with Manchester
City and Paris Saint-Germain both interested.
But German newspaper Bild claims Aubameyang
is heading to the Far East after agreeing to
pocket wages worth £500,000-a-week.
It’s said that new boss Peter Bosz, who left Ajax
to replace Thomas Tuchel earlier this month,
joined Dortmund under the impression that the
Gabonese forward, 28, would not be sticking
around for next season.
However, a deal was initially held up after new
laws were passed by the Chinese FA which saw
a 100 per cent tax stamped on new foreign
signings.
But Tianjin are apparently convinced
Aubameyang is the player to take them to the
next level.
And despite also closing in on a move for
Cologne hitman Anthony Modeste, Tianjin will
break the bank to make Aubameyang one of the
best-paid players in world football.
