Olympique Marseille eyeing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reunion | OneFootball

Olympique Marseille have made contact with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as they explore the possibility of bringing him back to the club, according to Foot Mercato.

The Gabonese striker, who enjoyed a prolific stint with Marseille in the 2023/24 season, is set to become a free agent.

Aubameyang scored an impressive 30 goals and provided 11 assists across all competitions during his spell at the Orange Velodrome and helped the club reach the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.

The striker’s performances quickly made him a fan favourite, and his departure last summer to Al-Qadsiah was met with disappointment by supporters.

After a productive year in Saudi Arabia, which saw him net 21 times in 36 appearances, Aubameyang is now set to leave Al-Qadsiah by mutual consent, with the club seeking a younger profile to lead the line.

Both parties have agreed to part ways, making Aubameyang available on a free transfer.

The Marseille hierarchy is now reportedly in discussion with Aubameyang’s representatives regarding a potential reunion.

While there is no agreement yet, the prospect of bringing back a proven goal scorer who is familiar with the club and Ligue 1 is appealing as Marseille look to strengthen their attacking options for the new season.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side finished second in Ligue 1 last season, earning a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2022/23 edition.

Les Minots have already brought in Neal Maupay and Jonathan Rowe this summer but are keen to bring in further offensive reinforcement.
