Inter Milan have little chance of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund, his agent has said.
As Dortmund have endured a difficult Bundesliga season, clubs have been linked with moves for key players including forward Aubameyang.
The 25-year-old Gabon international signed a five-year deal when he joined from Saint-Etienne in a 2013 deal worth an estimated 13 million euros.
He scored 13 times in his maiden season and has scored nine so far this term.
Aubameyang has been linked with a move to Serie A, and agent Oscar Damiani Jr. told FcInternews.it: "I'm convinced Inter would like to obtain his services.
"I am convinced of that because we have already spoken with Nerazzurri officials.
"But I think it will be difficult for them to sign him. Borussia's director-general has said he will not consider offers of less than 40 million euros."
