Veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is poised to rejoin Olympique de Marseille following a season-long stint in Saudi Arabia. The 36-year-old Gabon international has agreed to a two-year contract with the Ligue 1 side, marking a return to the Stade Vélodrome where he previously enjoyed a prolific 2023/24 campaign, netting 30 goals across all competitions.
Aubameyang parted ways with Al-Qadsiah after mutually terminating his contract, despite a productive season that included 21 goals and three assists. His decision to return to Marseille comes amid interest from several clubs, including Premier League teams and Saudi outfit Al-Ettifaq, but the striker prioritized Marseille’s sporting project and Champions League ambitions.
The move has been warmly welcomed by Marseille players and fans alike, with head coach Roberto De Zerbi expressing enthusiasm about working with Aubameyang again. The striker is expected to arrive in southern France to finalize the deal and undergo medical checks before officially rejoining the squad.
