Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang mulls over staying at Olympique de Marseille amid transfer speculation
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s arrival at Olympique de Marseille last summer marked a significant turning point in his career trajectory, following his departure from Chelsea. Since donning the Marseille jersey, the prolific striker has wasted no time in making his mark, delivering stellar performances on the pitch.
In a recent development reported by L’Equipe, it has emerged that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is contemplating the prospect of extending his stay at Olympique de Marseille into the upcoming season.
Despite enticing offers from Saudi Arabia, where lucrative contracts await, the former Arsenal frontman seems inclined to remain with the French outfit.
Nevertheless, the final decision regarding Aubameyang’s future lies in the hands of Marseille’s leadership.
With uncertainty looming over the club’s qualification for the prestigious UEFA Champions League, there is a possibility that the Marseille hierarchy may opt to offload high-earning players, including Aubameyang, if Champions League qualification remains elusive.
Presently, Olympique de Marseille finds themselves positioned in 8th place in the league standings, accruing 41 points thus far.
However, their pursuit of a top-three finish faces a significant hurdle, with a 12-point deficit separating them from Brest, who currently occupy the coveted third position.
As the season approaches its climax, the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Olympique de Marseille hangs in the balance, with both the player and the club weighing their options amidst ongoing speculation.
With his exceptional goal-scoring prowess and invaluable contributions to the team, Aubameyang’s potential departure would undoubtedly leave a significant void in Marseille’s squad.
Yet, whether he remains in the vibrant atmosphere of Ligue 1 or embarks on a new adventure abroad, Aubameyang’s next move promises to be closely watched by football enthusiasts worldwide.
