Here we go," Fabrizio Romano confirms OM's 4th recruit!

After Gomes, Egan-Riley, and Medina, our OM is preparing to welcome a fourth major signing: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Yes, you read that correctly, the 36-year-old striker is returning to Ligue 1, more than ten years after his notable stint at Saint-Étienne. Fabrizio Romano dropped the famous "here we go" on Friday, so we can say it without fear: barring a medical catastrophe, Auba will indeed don the Olympian jersey until 2027.

A strong choice, a clear ambition

We have to admit, Longoria, Benatia, and De Zerbi have pulled out all the stops! Faced with massive offers from Saudi Arabia, Aubameyang preferred the Marseille project, the Champions League, and the Vel' atmosphere over financial considerations. Let's not kid ourselves, it's not every day that a player of this caliber turns down petrodollars to join us. What do you think? Is it a sign that our project is finally attracting top players ready to give their all?

What can he bring to the Olympian attack?

We all know his profile: speed, international experience, a true leadership mentality, and – should we remind you? – 30 goals across all competitions last season with OM. Some will say he's starting to age, but with his lifestyle, the Gabonese still has legs. In De Zerbi's offensive system, we dreamed of a real goal-scorer. Can you imagine him combined with our new arrivals and Harit to break down Ligue 1 defenses?

A sporting… and financial gamble

Let's not lie, there's admittedly a bit of a risk. In terms of salary and contract duration (until 2027!), it's a significant investment for a 36-year-old player. But honestly, with what he showed last season, we can hope he elevates the team, both on and off the field. And we’ve seen: when Auba feels trusted, he can single-handedly change games.

And you, guys, convinced by this comeback?

The medical examination is just a formality now, and the official announcement should come soon. So, Auba in Marseille, good or bad idea? Are we betting he’ll set the Canebière alight? Tell us in the comments what you expect from him, and if this transfer window excites you as much as it does us!
