Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to return to Marseille after just a season away, with his Saudi Pro League adventure with Al-Qadsiah coming to an end.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hailed Mason Greenwood as the "star boy" as the former Arsenal striker admitted his excitement at linking up with the English forward at Marseille. The 36-year-old forward, who previously spent the 2023–24 season with the French club, returns after parting ways with Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah earlier this month. He left the Saudi club on a free transfer and has reportedly signed a new deal that keeps him at Marseille until the summer of 2027.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was at his brilliant best in Marseille’s 4-0 Champions League win over Ajax on Tuesday, but it was his simple act of humility that impressed Roberto De Zerbi as his 'new-spirited' team rounded off a perfect week. The veteran ran the show as the French side ran rampant with their third straight win since they opened their Champions League campaign with a defeat to Real Madrid.
Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has lavished praise on his players after they hammered Ajax 4-0 in the Champions League clash at the Orange Velodrome. Mason Greenwood was on the scoresheet once again and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang provided a couple of assists and bagged a goal himself, but Igor Paixao grabbed the headlines with a quick-fire first-half double to get the ball rolling for the French giants. After the match, former Brighton manager De Zerbi described his team's performance as "perfect".
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be set to return to France and join his former club Marseille this summer. The Ligue 1 side are currently negotiating the financial details of the player's contract as they are set to offer the forward a two-year deal. Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah have agreed to mutually terminate Aubameyang's contract, which will make him a free agent.
Marseille have contacted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over potentially bringing him back to Stade Velodrome. The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker left Marseille last summer and joined Al-Qadsiah. However, the Saudi Pro League side are now planning to terminate his contract one year before its expiry date, which has alerted the French giants.
