EXCLUSIVE: Man United and Man City to battle for £65m striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
JOSE MOURINHO and Pep Guardiola are preparing for their first Manchester scrap – over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal have also been linked with the Gabon international but they are now concentrating on England striker Jamie Vardy, who has a £20m buy-out clause in his Leicester contract.
So unless there is a move by Real Madrid, the Manchester clubs are set to fight it out for Germany’s Footballer of the Year.
Sources close to Aubameyang have indicated two Premier League clubs are chasing the Dortmund star.
And their duels next season are set to light up not only Manchester but the Premier League generally.
Speed-merchant Aubameyang has held talks with Dortmund about his and the club’s future.
He is concerned that key players are leaving – like Mats Hummels to Bayern Munich and Ilkay Gundogan – who has joined Guardiola at City.
