Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang agrees to Marseille return | OneFootball

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (36) has agreed a contract to return to Marseille. The former Arsenal forward is a free agent after his contract with Al-Qadisah was terminated. He will join OM on a 2-year deal until 2027.

Lots of clubs were interested in Aubameyang’s services following the termination of his contract, including those from the Premier League. However, the 36-year-old has been prioritising a return to Ligue 1 and to the South of France to rejoin Les Olympiens.

Rejected Saudi interest

Whilst other clubs were reportedly interested in the Gabonese international striker, it was Al Ettifaq that were forthcoming in their interest. The Saudi Pro League club offered Aubameyang a contract to remain in the Gulf State, but the forward wished to return to Europe and will now complete a medical ahead of confirming his return to the Stade Vélodrome in due course.
