Another early retiree at OM?

After Alexis Sanchez recruited last season, OM could bet on another experienced striker, to put it mildly.

If modern football has shown that strikers continue to be very successful well beyond their thirties, Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, can be considered as exceptions.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 34, finds it difficult to compare with the four players mentioned. The Chelsea player remains in a 2022-2023 season with 22 appearances, in all competitions, and three goals scored.

The leaders of the Blues intend to find a way out for the former Stéphanois, a year before the end of his contract. Why not at OM, says Marcelino to himself. The coach of the Marseille club is thinking of the Gabonese international, indicates the Spanish media Report.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could succeed Alexis Sanchez, also 34. The Chilean center-forward has been free since July 1 and the end of his contract with OM and the possibility of seeing him return to Marseille has been seriously weakened in recent days.

The Aubameyang track at OM could come up against the significant salary of the native of Laval. And is he still able to complete an entire season at a high level? Many doubt it.
