Aubameyang completes return to Marseille after Al-Qadsiah exit

Just over a year after swapping Marseille for the Saudi Pro League, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has completed a return to the Ligue 1 giants.

Aubameyang has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the option of another year with Marseille after mutually terminating his contract with Al‑Qadsiah.

The 36-year-old netted 17 times in 32 appearances in Saudi Arabia in 2024-25, the joint-seventh highest total in the division.

Aubameyang’s move sees him rejoin Marseille after a stellar spell in 2023-24, during which he scored 30 goals and registered 11 assists in 51 games across all competitions.

In that campaign, only Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane (both 44) and Erling Haaland (38) found the back of the net more times than Aubameyang across Europe’s top five leagues.

He brings a wealth of experience to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, having made 154 career appearances in Ligue 1, scoring 58 times as well as providing 26 assists.
