Madrid's transfer ban has been suspended, allowing them to sign players this summer, and they are willing to pay a premium for Aubameyang.The striker has also admitted that he promised his grandfather he would one day play for Los Blancos, and is he is keen to play Champions League football next season, something which may not be on offer at Old Trafford.That may also dash the hopes of Chelsea and Liverpool, who have also made enquiries over the striker's availability in previous weeks, and could discount Arsenal, another interested party, if they slip out of the top four.Dortmund are also facing up to the possibility of losing Ilkay Gundogan to Manchester City and Mats Hummels to Bayern Munich this summer.The club have resisted approaches for a number of their most talented players over recent years despite the widespread expectation of a firesale.Despite losing Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich in 2013 and 2014, respectively, and with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club last summer, Dortmund have battled to keep hold of Hummels and Marco Reus.With Gundogan having all but secured his move to the Etihad Stadium, and Hummels giving serious consideration to his future, they will put up a fight to keep Aubameyang.</blockquote>
