PIERRE-Emerick Aubameyang will start a £65million transfer scramble between Manchester City and Chelsea by leaving Borussia Dortmund next summer.
The German club are ready to allow the striker to leave at the end of the season after resisting all interest previously in their frontman.
Both City and Chelsea have a firm interest in the Gabon international, but they will face a fight with La Liga giants Real Madrid to lure him to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old would favour a move to the Spanish side, but the Champions League holders have a transfer ban imposed on them by Fifa that does not end until 2018.
Aubameyang, who has scored 87 times in 152 appearances, has already had Pep Guardiola’s City enquire about him last summer, although the north-west side did not make a bid.
