MARSEILLE:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to return to Marseille after a season in Saudi Arabia, the Ligue 1 club said in a statement on Tuesday.

Aubameyang, a former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea forward, previously played for Marseille during the 2023/24 campaign, scoring 30 goals in all competitions.

He moved to Al-Qadsiah after Marseille failed to qualify for Europe, but has ended his contract with the Saudi Pro League side.

Aubameyang is the Gabon national team’s all-time leading scorer with 35 goals.

His other former clubs include AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, while he has won several major trophies, including the 2022/23 La Liga title with Barcelona.
