Aubameyang's Return to OM: Gamble or Truly Good Idea?

So friends, the transfer market is heating up, and now we're hearing about the likely return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to OM! At 36, the Gabonese is set to terminate his contract with Al Qadsiah, and instead of heading into a cushy retirement or accepting one last big paycheck elsewhere, he has clearly chosen with his heart by favoring Marseille. So, should we get excited or remain cautious?

Aubameyang, luxury substitute or risky bet?

Let's not kid ourselves: a striker of Aubame's caliber, even at the end of his career, is no small thing. Pierre Ménès compares him to Giroud or Pogba: the old stalwarts of French football, a secondhand version but still effective. Except that, according to Ménès, Aubam was more successful than Giroud during his time in the United States, and he has the clarity to accept a backup role behind Gouiri. Honestly, who wouldn't want to see a guy like him come in at the 70th minute when there's a need to change the game?

But be careful, guys, let's not forget the flip side: being 36 also comes with the risk of physical problems, of having a rhythm that isn't what it used to be, and likely a significant salary. Is it worth the risk? We know that the Champions League and Ligue 1 require stamina and freshness. You tell me: how do you see this gamble?

A sporting choice… but also a financial one

Let's not pretend: Aubame's return to OM is also about big money. He turned down far more lucrative offers to come back to us, and that, we can only respect. But for our club, it's a move that needs to be well calculated. We're betting on his experience, on his ability to find the back of the net at the end of a match, and the impact he can have in the locker room.

Afterwards, there's the question of the place for young players and the management of the group. Are we hindering the progress of a young player by bringing in Aubame? Or on the contrary, will his presence lift everyone higher? Tell us what you think, we need your opinions to move the debate forward.

And now, what do we do?

This imminent arrival has people talking, it's making some dream, others doubt. We all want OM to regain a true bench, capable of making a difference in crucial moments, whether in Ligue 1 or the Champions League. Can Aubameyang be the decisive joker we all dream of? Or is he just another big name on the roster? We want your reactions, friends! Join us in the comments to discuss and imagine together the future of our OM!
