Giroud to be offered to Dortmund

It looks apparent that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is desperate to leave Borussia Dortmund. The Germans want €70 million for their star man, but Arsenal are unwilling to spend that much.

As a result, according to The Independent, Arsene Wenger has offered veteran striker Olivier Giroud to Dortmund in a bid to lower the price for the Gabon captain.

Speaking about Aubameyang, Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes has criticized the Gabonese international for his behaviour.

"I think footballers are very privileged, all the more if you see how hard many people have to work for their salary,” Heynckes was quoted saying by Goal.

Heynckes added: “So, I think professional ethics and morals belong to this. You have to see what's going on in the society. Things which happened with Aubameyang and [Ousmane] Dembele I see very critically. The clubs which sign those players have to be aware; they [Aubameyang and Dembele] could do the same to them. I would refuse to sign such players. Football is a team sport; you can't just be selfish and follow your own goals. You have to think about the fans as well.

Can wants to join Bayern

Meanwhile, according to Mirror, Emre Can has so far been apathetic to the constant approaches of Juventus because he wishes to rejoin Bayern Munich, the club where he started his senior career.
