Borussia Dortmund won't have to wait long to discover what the future holds for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang, who secured the Bundesliga scoring title on the final day of the season with 31 goals, revealed a decision over his future with the club will be made next week in an apparent attempt to address rampant reports which have linked him with a move to a host of clubs around the world.

After being connected with a move to Real Madrid earlier in the year, Aubameyang has recently also popped up on Paris Saint-Germain's radar, as well as Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian, with the former reportedly prepared to offer Dortmund €70 million this summer.

"We'll see. I will make a decision next week," Aubameyang told reporters, according to Stephan Uersfeld of ESPN FC, after Dortmund's 4-3 win over Werder Bremen on Sunday.

After seemingly forgetting Dortmund has one more match remaining, against Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB-Pokal final May 27, Aubameyang added, "Say whatever you want. I need to talk to the club, we'll see what happens."

In January, the 27-year-old, who is under contract until 2020, acknowledged he was "fully considering" leaving Dortmund in the summer before sporting director Michael Zorc demanded he discontinue talking with the media about transfer speculation.
