The 28-year-old striker has attracted interest from England and China, but the Spanish centre-back hopes he stays to help keep the side's spirits up
Marc Bartra hopes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rejects reported offers from China and England to stay at Borussia Dortmund.
Liverpool and Chelsea are said to be competing for the Gabon international's signing, with Chinese side Tianjin Quanjian reportedly considering an €80 million offer before their transfer window closes.
But Dortmund are hopeful of holding onto last season's Bundesliga top scorer and Bartra feels doing so will be pivotal to their 2017-18 campaign.
"Of course I hope Aubameyang stays," he told Bild.
