PIERRE-EMERICK Aubameyang has signed a new deal at Borussia Dortmund - but could still leave the club.
The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton and Italian giants AC Milan are all believed to be sniffing around the Gabon forward.
But German newspaper have reported that the 28-year-old has in fact already signed an improved contract until 2021.
It has of course improved his wages with the German giants.
His contract was originally scheduled to run until 2020.
Things came to a head in November this year when Aubameyang was suspended by Dortmund for an unsanctioned video shoot.
A report in stated that his repeated lateness for training and an unauthorised video recording on club grounds were jointly responsible for the punishment.
Aubameyang and freestyle footballer Sean Garnier have developed quite the relationship over recent years.

And it got that good the Gabonese star invited his pal to record his latest video inside Dortmund's premises along with his ten-man team on Wednesday.
The request to film would have probably been rejected by Dortmund as private marketing appointments are not allowed within two days of matches.

But that did not stop the camera from reaching the athletics hall at the training base, where no-one except club staff are allowed.
Garnier's visit lasted three hours and he posted a photo last night of him along with Aubameyang, thanking the Dortmund attacker and announcing his upcoming video.
And despite his contract with the German outfit having some years to run, it seems a big bid could well tempt them to sell up.
Liverpool and Chelsea are believed to be desperate to add the attacker to their ranks, while Aubameyang could prove the perfect replacement at Everton for Romelu Lukaku after he was sold to Manchester United in the summer.
