Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attracts interest from Al-Taawoun | OneFootball

According to Sports Zone, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s (34) impressive season at Olympique de Marseille has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia. The French outlet suggests that Al-Taawoun FC are keen on trying to persuade the forward to make the swap to the Gulf State.

They will likely have to offer Marseille and Aubameyang a lucrative offer with the forward only a year into his three-year contract, and the striker reportedly happy with his life in La Provence. Still, age will be a concern for Marseille, as the Gabon international will turn 35 next month.

Marseille will be aware that they will likely not get a better price for their player if they were to hold onto him for another season, but that concern will be juggled with the fact that he is the only player at the club to reach double figures in goals and assists. Furthermore, the number nine role has been a problem area for Marseille to reinforce in recent seasons.
