Turkey beckons: former BVB star Aubameyang moves on | OneFootball

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a globetrotter. Even at 37, the former Borussia Dortmund star striker has clearly not lost his passion for football. Now the prolific scorer is being drawn to Turkey.

Aubameyang has already collected plenty of “country points.” The Gabon international’s career began in his birth country, France. But at just 17, he had his first spell abroad when he joined AC Milan’s youth academy. However, the Rossoneri loaned him back to France several times.

He made his Ligue 1 debut for OSC Lille in 2009. Spells at AS Monaco and AS Saint-Étienne followed. The latter signed him permanently in January 2012. A year and a half later, Borussia Dortmund made their move. Aubameyang made a total of 213 appearances for BVB, scoring 141 goals and providing another 36 assists. In the 2016/17 season, he won the DFB-Pokal with the Black and Yellows. In the final against Eintracht Frankfurt, the Gabon international converted the decisive penalty to seal a 2–1 victory.

New year – new club

In January 2018, Aubameyang left Dortmund again. Arsenal paid almost €64 million. After four years with the Gunners, the striker began his odyssey through Europe’s leagues. On a yearly basis, the 83-cap international (40 goals) changed clubs: FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Olympique Marseille, Al-Qadsiah, and back to Marseille.

Now, according to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri on X, the former Dortmund man has reached an agreement with Corum FK. The newly promoted side to the Turkish Süper Lig is investing heavily to avoid going straight back down. With Hrvoje Smolcic (25) from Eintracht Frankfurt, the “Red Lightning” have already signed a centre-back with Bundesliga experience. Defensive midfielder Ylber Ramadani (30) made 104 competitive appearances for Serie A club US Lecce over the past three years.

Now veteran Aubameyang is expected to provide the goals they need. The player and the club have already reached an agreement. Corum now still has to come to terms with Marseille over a transfer.
