Aubameyang splits with Chelsea and signs with Olympique Marseille

Willing to end the reign of Paris Saint-Germain in French football, the Marseille Olympics announced this Friday the hiring of experienced Gabonese striker Aubameyang, which was in Barcelona’s plans. The player arrived free of charge and signed for three seasons.

Aubameyang is yet another player who managed to break away from Chelsea in a massive overhaul of the squad after last season’s frustration. Olympique de Marseille acted quickly and closed with the player without needing anything other than wages, beating the Catalans, who dreamed of re-hiring the goalscorer.

At the age of 34, Aubameyang arrives in France with great expectations of scoring many goals. Despite failing at Chelsea, the center forward was a top scorer in England defending Arsenal’s colors and scored more goals than Lewandowski when he played in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund. He still shone in a short spell at Barcelona.

The player returns to France after 10 years. Despite having Gabonese nationality, due to his father’s origin, he was born on French soil and started in fute4BOL in teams there. He passed through the unknowns of Rouen and Bastia before appearing in earnest in Dijon. Before winning the world, he still defended Lille, Monaco and Saint-Étienne.

The player has already worn the new shirt, posed for photos and sent a message to the fans, revealing that he can’t wait to meet the fans in Marseille. He still said he was honored with the agreement. He will be partnered with Brazilian left-back Renan Lodi, also signed in this transfer window.
