Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed that he could be interested in signing for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gabon international has developed into one of Europe's finest forwards in recent seasons and has already scored seven goals in just nine appearances in all competitions in 2016-17.
"At the end of my first season in the Bundesliga, there was contact," he told Onze Mondiale magazine. "In the summer after, too. In fact, almost every year there has been contact.
"It's true that Paris have the ambition to win the Champions League, so they could be interesting for a player like me."
"It's true, there were discussions. My father spoke with the club, but there was nothing concrete in the end," he said of City's interests.
"I was asked 'what is the club of your dreams?' in an interview and I replied 'Real - I made a promise to my grandfather to play there one day, I hope it will happen.
"It's just an ambition. I still have time. But I didn't do it to pique the interest of the club and try to attract them.
"If they want me, they'll come. If they don't, it's too bad. I know there has been contact."
Aubameyang progressed through AC Milan's youth system but was sent on four separate loans to Ligue 1 before signing a permanent deal with Saint-Etienne.
"In the end, it was tough," he said. "I needed to be placed at a club, I wanted to be believed in. That's what happened at Sainte.
"I saw [Milan CEO Adriano] Galliani at the last Champions League final. He congratulated me and said 'I know you're not going to come back straight away, but if you want to one day, you'll be welcome'. I replied 'With pleasure!'."
"Yes, there is always this duel. I hope to be in front of him this season - it's a personal goal," he said. "He's finished top scorer in the Bundesliga for three years, that has to change now...
"I want to have a good career so that people remember me. Today, we remember those who won, who became legends of the sport."
