Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian revealed they are poised to sign a player from Europe, but refused to confirm whether or not it is Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.<\/p>\n
It was rumoured that Tianjin were interested in Chelsea forward earlier this year, but a move for the Brasilian did not materialise.<\/p>\n
The Gabon international\u00a0has been linked with a move away from Dortmund, having made no secret of his desire to play for Real Madrid. However, Tianjin Quanjian, led by Fabio Cannavaro, have emerged as a possible destination.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old, whose contract runs until 2020, could reportedly earn a lucrative weekly salary of \u20ac500,000 with the Chinese Super League side.<\/p>\n
“Basically, a decision on which player we are going to buy in the summer has been made. And we have secured a verbal agreement with the player as well as his club,” Tianjin owner Shu Yuhui told reporters in a press conference.<\/p>\n
“We have not signed a formal contract yet, and I will not reveal the player’s name during the sensitive period.”<\/p>\n
“The club have once got the short end of the stick after our transfer target was exposed ahead of time. So we won’t say his name.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
