OM’s new star recruit in this off-season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will receive the club’s biggest salary. And by far.
Pablo Longoria had decided to put an end to the pharaonic emoluments, it is clear that the president of OM had to review his principles to attract a new renowned scorer into his nets. After Alexis Sanchez, whose future remains uncertain to this day, Marseille was able to grab hold of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. A veteran scorer certainly – 34 years old – but endowed with great references, whether in Germany, Spain or England.
The Gabonese international had his medical examination on Thursday and will sign up for three years for the Olympians. A long-term lease that allowed Marseille leaders to dilute his star salary somewhat. The alleged contract as a whole is indeed 25 million euros gross, or just over 8 million euros per year and 700,000 euros monthly. Much more than the best off in this area so far among the Sky and White: Jordan Veretout and his 550,000 euros monthly.
Twice as Sanchez
Of course, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang agrees there to a significant drop in his salary, of the order of 185,000 euros per week at the Chelsea Blues last season. That is more than 800,000 euros per month and not far from 10 million euros per year. For comparison, Alexis Sanchez during the last financial year received 4 million euros gross. Two times less than his possible replacement.
