If he had stayed in Saudi Arabia, the Gabonese would have earned twice as much as at Marseille, where he'll annually receive €4.5 million. But the heart wanted what it wanted, and that's why Auba is a fan favourite. And will always be!
Following the arrivals of Aubameyang and Igor Paixao, who should soon join from Feyenoord for €35 million, Marseille completed a promising attacking line, which will also include Mason Greenwood.
In his last season in Ligue 1, the 36-year-old bagged 17 goals in 34 matches, and the fans can expect a similar record in the following season, as the league isn't much stronger than before, while Roberto De Zerbi's crew's offensive potential has undoubtedly increased.
