Aubameyang has long been linked with a move to Real, and it is often said that he promised his late grandfather he would play for the club.
The striker has excelled at Borussia Dortmund since joining from St Etienne, and scored 39 goals in 46 appearances for the club last season.
Real Madrid have been quiet in the transfer market so far this season, and now Aubameyang has addressed the speculation:
“The only club to leave Borussia Dortmund for is Real Madrid. But not now.
“Sometime I want to play for Real Madrid, which is one of my big goals in my career. But at the moment everything is great.”
Real have only brought in one player so far in the summer transfer window, exercising their right to bring back Alvaro Morata from his spell at Juventus.
Dortmund have sold Mats Hummels, Henrilkh Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan to Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City respectively.
