Zinedine Zidane could be a surprising obstacle to Real Madrid's pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Madrid has long been linked to a transfer deal with Dortmund for Aubameyang.

According to Sport Bild this week, Zidane has downgraded the importance of the signing of Aubameyang. Zidane believes that he has suitable cover in the attacking positions already and that he doesn't have the profile for the needs of the club.

Aubameyang has been rather open with his interest in Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and the Chinese Super League also have interest in Aubameyang.
