Reports in Germany claim that after his lack of discipline in the past few weeks, Borussia Dortmund are ready to cut their losses with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the next transfer window.

Aubameyang is reportedly edging closer to the exit door at Dortmund after head coach Peter Bosz claimed he "ruined everything" during the Revierderby against Schalke.

The Gabonese striker opened the scoring on Saturday but was then sent off with his side 4-2 ahead, having been 4-0 up, and the scintillating clash ended in a 4-4 draw.

After the game his manager and team-mates were fuming at Aubameyang's indiscipline on top of Bosz's comments, Roman Weidenfeller said the 28-year-old had "done a stupid thing".

Aubameyang has had several disciplinary issues with Dortmund recently and he was also suspended for their recent match against Stuttgart, for turning up late to training.

According to German publication 'Bild', the Bundesliga outfit have become increasingly frustrated with his indiscipline and are now preparing to get rid of their prolific striker in January.

They report that an offer of 60 million euros would be enough to lure him away from the Westfalenstadion, and Liverpool and Chelsea are two clubs who are said to be interested in the striker.
