Michael Zorc has revealed BvB are still waiting for a “concrete” transfer offer for the Gabon striker. Aubameyang, who was dropped from the squad for Dortmund’s 0-0 draw with Wolfsburg last Sunday, was again omitted from the side that drew 1-1 at Hertha Berlin. “It’s not a suspension but a sporting decision,” Zorc said. “There is nothing really concrete on the table. There’s a lot of rubbish.” Aubameyang was originally dropped for missing a club appointment, with manager Peter Stoger saying he felt the player was “not so focused at the moment.”
