Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attracts interest worldwide

Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attracts interest worldwide While he has just blown out his 37th candle, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (37) does not seem ready to hang up his boots just yet. Quite the opposite, in fact. Having returned to Olympique de Marseille last summer, the Gabonese striker has once again distinguished himself, proving decisive on 24 occasions (14 goals, 10 assists) in 41 appearances across all competitions. A solid record for the centre-forward, who is, however, unlikely to continue his spell in the south of France next season. Having missed out on the Champions League, Marseille will indeed have to implement austerity measures to cope with a difficult economic climate. One of the key steps involved includes parting ways with the Laval-born player, whose contract with the club has one year remaining and whose salary is among the highest in the Marseille squad. As for Aubameyang’s future, there’s no cause for concern: the former FC Barcelona player is in high demand. And that’s true all over the world. According to Foot Mercato , clubs from Spain, Italy, Turkey, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, as well as Major League Soccer sides, have reportedly made enquiries about the forward’s situation. These are promising prospects for a player whose future is being written on the football pitch. GFFN  |  Léo Aschi
