During an interview with the Marseille club media, the Gabonese striker detailed what prompted him to join Marseille.

Banned by Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (34) officially joined OM until June 2026 and will return to Ligue 1, ten years after leaving Saint-Etienne for Borussia Dortmund.

The former Barça and Arsenal spoke for the first time, explaining the reasons for his choice.

Why OM? Because it’s Marseille, quite simply, slipped the striker to the club media on Monday. I need to find a stadium that vibrates. The club project is super interesting. We have seen it in recent seasons, OM are doing better and better. This is the ideal sequel for my career. (…) I came to work and show who I am. »

I haven’t come back since the stadium was finished. I came back with Dortmund but the stadium was still under renovation, so there was only part of the public, Aubameyang continued. But since it’s over, no. I won’t hide from you that I watched little Youtube videos, it gives chills! (laughs)”confided the player, who is eager to play in front of the Marseille public.
