The battle promises to be tough for OM. Looking for an attacker to support Amine Gouiri, the Marseille club has targeted a renowned player: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. After a season in Saudi Arabia, the Gabonese could soon be released by Al-Qadsiah, thus reviving rumors of a return to Ligue 1 and in Marseille. But other destinations are looming for the former Barça player.
This Monday, Provence reveals that Aubameyang has already received several offers, including one from a Spanish club of the second division engaged in a fight for maintenance. However, the Gabonese would have declined this proposal. He would also have refused an offer from Türkiye for family reasons.
Saudi Arabia still instantly
Despite these releases, the Marseille track is not abandoned. However, still according to Provencetwo Saudi clubs, Al-Shabab and Al-Ettifaq, would have submitted very attractive financial offers to the player, much superior to what Marseille could offer him. A proposal from Qatar also complicates the situation.
Passed by OM in 2023, Aubameyang distinguished himself with 30 goals and 11 assists in 51 games in all competitions in a full season. This performance has attracted Pablo Longoria, which remains very interested in a return from the ATTQAUT. But the competition is tough to get attached to its services.
Marseille therefore closely follows the evolution of the situation. The Marseille club could represent a great sporting opportunity for those who already know Ligue 1 well and France. It remains to be seen whether sports and personal arguments will prevail in the face of financial proposals from the Middle East.
