Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will join Olympique de Marseille. The Marseille club will afford the striker without paying a penny to Chelsea.

The case is practically in the bag. Announced with more and more insistence on the side of Olympique de Marseille, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will indeed sign with the southern club. In recent days, OM have been wondering if they should pay a few million to enlist the services of the former AS Saint-Étienne. In the end, nothing will happen since Chelsea have decided to release him.

Arrived at the end of the summer of 2022 on the side of London, the native of Laval was under contract until June 2024. A transfer amount of six million was mentioned in recent hours by Provencebut finally, RMC clarified on Wednesday that Aubameyang would arrive free in Marseille. A great operation for President Pablo Longoria who has decided to offer the Gabonese international a three-year contract.

With Sanchez?

A medical visit is scheduled for Thursday according to the media. A stage which will be held on the side of Germany since Marcelino and his men will carry out their training camp there. OM will be the fifth professional French club for which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will play. It will also be the tenth club in the career of the thirty-four-year-old man. It remains to be seen whether he will have the opportunity to evolve this year alongside Alexis Sanchez, whose future in Marseille is not yet clear.
