German club slap £78m price tag on Man Utd and Arsenal target

MANCHESTER UNITED will have to offer at least £78million if they want Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

Aubameyang has been in fine form for Borussia Dortmund so far this season,scoring 22 bundesliga goals in 25games the gabon striker have only been bettered by Robert Lewandowski.

Report suggest that Manchester United have already spoken to the player's agent, but Dortmund sporting director Hans-Joachim Watzke has revealed that it will take a massive bid even to open negotiations between the clubs.

"If at any time an offer of €100m [£78m] or €120m [£95m] for Aubameyang comes to us, then we will discuss," Watzke told Spanish outlet AS.

The Mirror claim Arsenal are ready to blow most of their transfer budget this summer on the forward as they look to add a proven, consistent goal-scorer to their squad.

But the striker himself, who is under contract in Germany until 2020, has said that Real Madrid would be his preferred choice.
