Aubameyang added: “I’m happy to be here because it has been a while.”
Meanwhile, Giorgio Chiellini has backed his former teammate Alvaro Morata to become the first choice striker at Real Madrid for years to come.
Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Spanish International from Juventus, and Chiellini believe Morata is the special talent.
“First of all, he’s a special lad,” he said at a Press conference on Friday ahead of the Euro 2016 last-16 clash between Spain and Italy.
“I’m sorry to be greeting him as a former teammate butI’m happy for him, and I hope he can stay at Real Madrid.
“He deserves to be the striker for Spain and Real, I’d be disappointed if he was used as a bargaining chip. He doesn’t deserve that.
“I don’t see why he can’t play at Real for 10 years, he has incredible talent and a lot of room for improvement.
“Over the past two years he’s grown so much on a tactical and human level. When he arrived he was a kid, he wasn’t considered a lad for the first team.
“We helped him grow every day, but the credit goes to him and his great talent.
“I hope he feels bad after Monday, but that could help him for the rest of his career!”
