Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has returned to Marseille on a free transfer after a successful spell in Saudi Arabia. Greeted by a hero’s welcome from fans, the striker is set to form a new attacking partnership with Mason Greenwood, with the duo aiming to lead the club to success in the upcoming season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has completed his much-anticipated return to Marseille, rejoining the Ligue 1 giants on a free transfer after a brief stint in Saudi Arabia. The 34-year-old striker was greeted with a raucous reception upon his arrival, as a large group of Marseille fans cheered and chanted in celebration of his homecoming.
Aubameyang’s Impact in Marseille and Beyond
Aubameyang’s previous spell at Marseille, during the 2023-24 season, was a standout period in his career. In 51 appearances, the former Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund forward netted an impressive 30 goals and registered 11 assists, playing a pivotal role in the club’s attacking strategy. His performances earned him a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, where he continued to impress by scoring 21 goals in 36 appearances.
However, after just one season in the Middle East, Aubameyang has decided to return to the club where he enjoyed his most productive period in recent years. The free transfer marks a significant step for Marseille as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Looking Ahead: Aubameyang’s Role in Marseille’s Attack
Aubameyang’s return to Marseille could not have come at a better time, as the club is looking to build a formidable attacking unit. He will now link up with Mason Greenwood, who joined the French side this summer. The two forwards will aim to develop a strong partnership, with the potential to terrorize defenses across Ligue 1.
Aubameyang could make his debut in Marseille’s upcoming pre-season friendly against Sevilla on August 2. With the club eager to regain its competitive edge domestically and in European competitions, the veteran striker’s experience will undoubtedly be an asset.
