Aubameyang linked with surprise Genoa switch as Marseille future questioned

Gabon and France centre-forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is being linked with a move from Marseille to Serie A side Genoa, with the 37-year-old’s future at the Ligue 1 club increasingly uncertain.

Transfer data from 2 July 2026 lists Genoa as a possible destination for the Olympique Marseille striker, whose current market value is put at €2.50m. The mooted deal is being reported as a rumour, with the probability of the transfer described only as “?” and no agreement in place.

Aubameyang’s contractual position at Marseille could be pivotal. The veteran forward, who wears the No 17 shirt, has no fixed contract expiry date listed, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent if his terms are not extended or have already quietly run down. That status would make any move to Genoa significantly cheaper, with the Italian club potentially able to focus on wages rather than a transfer fee.

Born in Laval on 18 June 1989 and standing 1.87m tall, Aubameyang is a right-footed central striker who also holds dual Gabonese and French nationality. He joined Marseille after high-profile spells at clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea, bringing a prolific scoring record and Champions League pedigree to the south of France.

In his most recent outings for Marseille, Aubameyang has continued to feature as a leading attacking option, though specific match data in the current rumour listing focuses on his overall status rather than detailing individual games. There is no confirmed breakdown of his latest goals or assists in the current season as part of this report.

With Genoa looking to add experience and goals to their Serie A squad, any move – whether for a fee close to his €2.50m valuation or as a free agent – would represent another late-career chapter for one of African football’s most recognisable forwards and could help define the closing years of his storied club career.
