After single-handedly carrying the Marseille attack last season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to leave the club. Following intense interest from Al-Qadsiah, who made him their top priority signing, the Gabonese international has succumbed to the Saudi Arabian allure. He announced his decision to join the Saudi club on Wednesday, bidding farewell to the OM supporters.
« I have had a year filled with emotions, and I want to thank the entire club, the staff, my teammates, and our supporters. You have made me stronger, and these memories with you will be etched in my mind forever. As you know, I have always followed my father’s advice, which has allowed me to become the player I am today, and we have thus made this decision for the progression of my career. It is time for me to start a new chapter. (…) Forever, Allez l’OM! I will never forget you, » Aubameyang posted.
The Panther is now preparing to leave the European continent for a new adventure in the Gulf. In Saudi Arabia, Aubameyang will sign a 2-year contract with a lucrative fee of nearly 40 million euros.
