What could appear as a distant plan B a few days ago is more and more concrete. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back in Marseille, history seems to be walking. All sources close to the file agree that the two camps have clearly approached in recent hours.
Since the 36-year-old Gabonese striker has terminated his contract with Al-Qadsiah, Saudi Arabia, discussions have accelerated between the player's representatives and the Olympian management. And while the salary claims of the former Gunner and Blaugrana could have been a brake, common ground would be in the process of being found.
The OM parade to attract a footballer who will have received 20 million euros in emoluments in the financial year 2024-2025? A new two -year contract; Or proof of exceptional confidence for such an advanced player. Thanks to this commitment, a salary in the new capped standards of the Marseille club – namely 5 million euros in the season – would be possible.
Aubameyang, a reinforcement of choice for OM
Conquered by Marseille and the Vélodrome in its passage in 2023-2024-with the flattering assessment of 30 goals and 11 assists in 51 matches in all competitions-Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be seduced by the prospect of such a return. With around him a much more successful and promising sky and white collective than in the past.
Capable of evolving in all offensive positions, in the axis or on the sides, “PEA” would be perceived by Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia as a reinforcement of choice to support Amine Gouiri, Mason Greenwood and the future replacement of Luis Henrique, who could take the features of the Auriverde winger of Feyenoord Igor Peace. Initially, OM had set its sights on the international tricolor hopes Matthis Abbline but FC Nantes was far too greedy with the taste of the Olympian staff.
