AC Milan 1-3 Borussia Dortmund
No wonder they won’t let him go!
No wonder Milan want him back!
Yet you can forget the betting odds on a summer move for the Gabon marksman.
Certainly if Borussia Dortmund have their way Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is going nowhere.
That was the emphatic message from club director Michael Zorc after one of the most eagerly anticipated pre-season football games, this time in the International Champions Cup in China.
And after a great start to the tournament for new coach Peter Bosz, fresh from his arrival from last season’s Europa League finalists Ajax, my advice to sports betting fans is look elsewhere for your winnings.
Aubameyang may have been linked with both Milan and Paris St Germain but he’s staying put.
After scoring 31 goals in the Bundesliga last season and helping his side to lift the German Cup, he has his sights on more success in the new campaign.
That should be in Germany, even if displays like this only fuel the rumours.
Exciting teenager Christian Pulisic set up Nuri Sahin to score the opener before Aubameyang doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.
Although Milan, who have made 10 signings so far this summer, had a new-look, it was not a settled look.
Colombian Carlos Bacca pulled one back for the Italians midway through the first half with an impressive finish with the outside of his right foot.
However, it was Aubameyang who had the final word on 64 minutes before the match petered out due to a flurry of substitutions from both sides.
Of course, the result does not matter as matches like this are merely preparation for the big kick-off.
Dortmund face Bochum next, while Milan now prepare to take on Germany’s finest Bayern Munich.
But Aubameyang will remain the main focus after this double showed the club where he began 10 years ago exactly what they’re missing.
