L'Equipe reports this Saturday morning that, after leaving his club Al-Qadisiya, the player has turned down an offer from Al-Ettifaq and has begun a planned return to Marseille, a year after his departure.

In desperate need of a No9, the club from the south of France are said to have found what they were looking for in their former star. The striker's contract runs until 2027.

At 36, Aubameyang is now ready to lend his leadership and experience to Roberto de Zerbi's dressing room.

With OM, he scored 30 goals in 51 games during the 2023/24 season and was named best player and scorer in the Europa League (10).
