The agent of Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly unhappy with the handling of his player’s transfer to the German club Borussia Dortmund. Carlos Arino, the Spaniard who facilitated the contact between Saint-Etienne and Dortmund, claims he has not been paid for his role in the 13 million euros transfer.
Expressing his dissatisfaction, Arino has taken legal action, entrusting the matter to his lawyer who is determined to ensure his client’s rights are respected. According to reports from Sport Bild, Dortmund is now the target of the player’s agent in this dispute. The lawyer stated, “I am responsible for preparing an appropriate response,” suggesting that a significant amount of compensation is being sought, potentially amounting to several million euros.
These controversies surrounding the transfer could have implications for Aubameyang’s performance in his new club, Borussia Dortmund, where he has already been making a positive impact. The off-field issues may pose challenges to his focus and concentration on the pitch.
