The Aubameyang case: priority to heart and project for OM?

Friends, here is a series that’s thrilling the entire Old Port: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 36 years old, is at the center of all discussions on the Phocaean side. According to the very serious information from La Provence, Auba has already turned down several clubs, including a struggling Spanish team fighting to stay up and a Turkish club with limited appeal. The reason? His entourage, his family, now heavily influences his decisions, and frankly, who could blame him at this stage of his career?

Big checks rejected, but his mind on the Velodrome

We know that the Middle East hasn’t skimped on millions. Al-Shabab, Al-Ettifaq, Qatar… Everyone wanted to secure the striker's services, who is coming off a spectacular season in Saudi Arabia (21 goals in 36 matches with Al-Qadsiah, no less). But guess what? Aubameyang didn’t take the bait. Gone are the days of choices solely driven by money, he proved it by declining these golden offers. Do you believe in this return of the passionate footballer over the businessman?

OM, the heart’s argument?

What could change everything for us is obviously the sports project. With Champions League qualification in hand, and a coach who seems to have grasped Auba’s character... We have something to entice him, don’t we? Especially since he spends his holidays a stone’s throw from Marseille and has literally fallen in love with the region. For you, friends, is it all just a show or is it a real coup de cœur? Let’s discuss!

The contract on the table: what are the implications?

Currently, discussions revolve around a two-season lease, as proposed elsewhere. Let's be honest, at 36 years, it's a risk. But given his level last year, don’t you think he can still contribute, especially with the prospect of the Champions League? There’s also salary management: we know that OM isn’t rolling in money, so this deal needs to be carefully structured so as not to burden the finances. So, is it worth the risk?

Replaying the match: Aubameyang, a priority or not for OM?

To summarize, Auba has said no to Spain and Turkey, also skipped the Gulf's jackpot, and is prioritizing an Olympian adventure — driven by both sports and emotion. Negotiations are advancing, and everything seems to point towards a return to the Velodrome. But you, the supporters, what do you think? Is this the gamble we need to regain European glory?
