AC Milan continue to press for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Calciomercato.com’s Fabrizio Romano writes that the Rossoneri are trying to tempt the 28-year-old back to the San Siro by offering him a mega contract worth €8M-a-season. Aubameyang spent four years with the Rossoneri between 2007 and 2011 but never made a first-team appearance.
 

Dortmund chiefs are now resigned to losing their star striker and have already received offers from China for the player despite Aubameyang reportedly preferring a move to the Premier League. Chelsea are also understood to be in the hunt with Antonio Conte considering a £65M bid after missing out on Belgian hit-man Romelu Lukaku.
