Real Madrid Transfer News: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Reveals Los Blancos Promise

Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed he promised his grandfather he would one day play for Real Madrid, talking up a possible transfer to the La Liga giants.

Speaking to French daily L'Equipe (h/t AS' Carlos Forjanes), the Gabon international also revealed his goal celebration, where he performs a cartwheel, is something he does in honour of Los Blancos legend Hugo Sanchez:

Before he died two years ago I promised him that one day I would play for Real Madrid. My grandfather was from Avila, not far from Madrid.
