Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slams Madrid reports

Borussia Dortmund strike Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has dismissed reports that he has agreed to move to Real Madrid as "bulls---."

Earlier this week German tabloid Express claimed Real and Aubameyang had reached an agreement that would see the Gabon international move to the Bernabeu for between €90 million and €100m in the summer.

Spanish paper AS then said the BVB star had "said yes to Madrid."

But speaking to reporters after Dortmund's 3-0 Europa League defeat of Tottenham, in which he scored the opening goal, he said: "It's bulls---, but papers are like this.

"I am only focused on my season here. I am at Borussia Dortmund. For the moment, I am here."

Last summer, Aubameyang -- who has scored 33 goals this season and previously said it would be a "dream" to represent Real -- extended his contract at Dortmund until 2020.

And coach Thomas Tuchel said: "Everybody has to accept that he has a long-term contract without any possibility of stepping out.

"Auba signed this contract because he feels good here. He feels that he can still develop and still grow in his personality and as a soccer player.

"We want to keep this squad together and we want to develop this squad into something extraordinary. Right now, it's not our goal to give him away."
