Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has hinted that he could leave Dortmund next summer – and Everton may have enough funds to make a deal possible.
If you don’t buy the ticket, the chances of you winning the raffle are rather remote. Therefore, you can’t blame Everton for throwing their hat into the ring for PSG superstar Edinson Cavani, as reported by The Mail.
The Uruguayan is one of the world’s most lethal hitmen, scoring 49 goals in all competitions last season, but an on-pitch dispute with Neymar over penalty duties has given rise to speculation that he could be on his way out of the Parc des Princes in January.
However, Cavani may not be the only genuinely world class centre-forward on the lookout for a new club in the near future. Borussia Dortmund talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hinted that this could be his final season in the Bundesliga and, according to Calciomercato, this has given Real Madrid and AC Milan hope of striking a mega-money deal.
It’s fair to say the odds on Aubameyang moving to Everton would not be particularly high. If the Gabonese goal-machine is to change clubs, he is likely to receive interest from countless bonafide European giants.
Everton, for all their ambition, have still never reached the Champions League group-stages. And, to make matters even more difficult, The Sun quotes Aubameyang admitting that he has ‘never been attracted to the Premier League’ amid reported interest from Manchester City.
Mission impossible?
This should not stop Everton making a hugely ambitious approach, however. Who knows, the 28-year-old may just be intrigued by the project at Goodison Park and the prospect to lead the club into a bright new era.
Aubameyang, scorer of 133 goals in 200 games for Dortmund, would be the undisputed star man at Goodison Park while, at Real or Milan, he would have the share the spotlight.
Whether this is enough to suggest that the biggest deal in Everton’s history is possible is another matter. Though it doesn’t hurt to try.
