Daniel Riolo reacted to the probable arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Olympique de Marseille.
Unless the situation turns around, Olympique de Marseille should record the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Chelsea. The Gabonese striker is expected in Germany, where the Marseille club is currently training, to pass the medical examination and sign a three-year contract.
This resounding transfer obviously fuels the debate. Aubameyang has always shone with his statistical record. His well-stocked CV speaks for him, with stints at Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, FC Barcelona and therefore Chelsea. But the Marseille context, the age of the attacker (34 years old) and his state of mind can be questioned. Called to comment on this operation, Daniel Riolo did not go there by four paths.
“The same impression as Alexis Sanchez last year”
“He is a character player with good and bad times. Regarding what he can bring to OM, he gives me the same impression as Alexis Sanchez last year: I’m skeptical but I still want to see. The guy has always scored goals, we are on a high-end striker. I want to see what he is capable of doing at OM. This is a priori good news “finally decided the RMC journalist.
“Signing Aubameyang for two years seems complicated to me, but it’s all a matter of negotiations. If for a year it is not possible, do you try two years? After his experience at Barça, people have rather fond memories of him there. Arsenal was very good, but it ended badly…”added Riolo.
