Aubameyang’s Return to Marseille Signals Bold Champions League Ambitions
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to rejoin Marseille after verbally agreeing to a two-year deal, marking his return to European football. Following a mutual termination of his contract with Saudi club Al-Qadsiah, the veteran striker rejected offers from other Middle Eastern teams to make his way back to the French side on a free transfer. His return positions him to once again compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
During his previous spell at Marseille in the 2023-24 season, Aubameyang delivered an impressive tally of 30 goals across all competitions, including a vital contribution to the club’s Europa League semi-final run. His consistent scoring and leadership left a strong impression on the supporters and coaching staff, prompting the club to bring him back for another stint as they aim to build on last season’s success.
Marseille’s attacking lineup is expected to become even more dangerous with Aubameyang reuniting alongside Mason Greenwood, who scored 21 goals in his debut season. Their combined Premier League experience adds a new level of threat to Ligue 1 defenses, especially as Marseille prepares to challenge both domestically and in Europe. The team's strong second-place league finish underlines their growing ambitions.
Despite the daunting task of overtaking PSG in the league, Marseille’s main focus now shifts to making an impact in the newly formatted Champions League. With Aubameyang's proven scoring ability and vast experience in European competitions, coach Roberto De Zerbi sees him as a vital asset. At 36, the striker remains sharp and determined to finish his career at the highest level, bringing both firepower and leadership to a squad ready to compete on the biggest stages.
