OM: De Zerbi speaks out on Aubameyang's comeback!
Former Qadsia SC striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on the verge of making his return to Olympique de Marseille, just one season after his departure.

Although the club has yet to make the deal official, all signs point to an imminent transfer. On Friday, a photo of Aubameyang in training gear wearing the Marseille shirt made the rounds, boosting supporters' confidence that his comeback is just around the corner.

Marseille reach agreement for Aubameyang return
Marseille have reached an agreement to sign their former star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on a free transfer, according to journalist Santi Aouna. The Gabonese striker moved from Marseille to Al-Qadsiah last summer on a two-year deal but terminated his contract with the Saudi Pro League club after just one season. Premier League clubs and Saudi giants Al Ettifaq came forward with a lucrative proposal, but the former Arsenal star had his heart set on a return to the Ligue 1 giants. The 36-year-old will pen a two-year contract until 2027 with Les Minots. Aubameyang has shown that he is ageing like a fine wine after a prolific campaign in Saudi Arabia last season. He netted 21 goals and three assists in all competitions, including the strike in the defeat in the King's Cup final against Al Ettifaq. Even in the 2023/24 season, Aubameyang was at the peak of his powers, netting 30 goals and 11 assists as well as finishing as the Europa League's top scorer. The former Barcelona star will look to replicate his rich vein of form for Roberto De Zerbi's side this season, where they will compete in the Champions League. Aubameyang will compete with talented Algerian Amine Gouiri for the centre-forward role at Marseille. Les Phoceens are also actively scouring the market for a winger, and Juventus' Timothy Weah is at the top of their wishlist. The former Lille star is not in Juve's plans and has reportedly agreed personal terms over a move to Marseille. De Zerbi's side are also monitoring Feyenoord's Igor Paixao and Lyon's Malick Fofana.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang terminates contract with Al Qadsiah as Marseille return edges closer
According to a report from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (36) has signed a contract termination agreement with Al Qadsiah and is now free to sign with any club. The Gabon international is currently in talks over a return to Olympique de Marseille, as Romano reports that the former OM striker is in negotiations over a potential two-year deal at the Phocéen club. Aubameyang scored 21 goals and registered four assists in Saudi Arabia last season, after he joined the club from Marseille last summer. L'Équipe report that the 36 year-old is prioritising a move back to Marseille over other European clubs. Les Olympiens pounced on the opportunity and are reportedly in advanced discussions with their former player and have tabled a two-year contract offer. The former Arsenal and Barcelona man's interest is reportedly mutual, but there are offers also from the AUE, Qatar, and within Saudi Arabia – although a move to Provence seems to be the most likely course of action at this stage. |
