Borussia Dortmund star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed that a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid would be a dream.

The Gabon international, who scored his 21^stBundesliga goal of the season in their 1-0 win at Leverkusen on Sunday, has attracted strong interest from a host of Premier League heavyweights including Arsenal and Manchester United, with the Red Devils reportedly ready to offer £60 million for his services.

However, the 26-year-old sees his future in Spain, the country of his mother.

“My childhood dream was to play for Real Madrid,” Aubameyang told L’Equipe.

“I promised my grandfather, who was from Avila some 110 kilometers away from Madrid, that I would play there. I realise that it will not be easy, but is always in the back of my mind.

“I watched a lot of Hugo Sanchez videos when I was still a child. The somersault I sometimes do to celebrate a goal is a homage to him.

“Playing for Real Madrid, or even another big Spanish club, would also be a great gift for my mother.”

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is under contract with Dortmund until 2020.
