Aubameyang says goodbye to Olympique Marseille after being signed by a team from Saudi Arabia. The absence leaves the French club in a complicated situation, as they now only have one center forward in the team
The news of the signing of Aubameyang by a team of Saudi Arabia, finally, was confirmed. The gabonés left the Olympique Marseilles to begin a new stage in the To the-Qadsiah. As 'Mark', the forward signed an agreement of 20 million annual euros until the year 2026. The own footballer sacked of the fans 'focenses' by means of a communiqué published in his social networks.
In the text, the exjugador of the FC Barcelona remembered how had been his arrival to the French club: "I Have lived a full year of emotions and would like me thank all the club, to the personnel, to my mates of team and to our followers. You have done me stronger and these memories with you will remain with me for ever", commented the 'crack'.
In the same message, Aubameyang devoted him some words of gratitude to Frank McCourt, owner of the Marseilles Olympique, and to Pablo Longoria, sportive director. The forward underlined that both had supported it a lot during his stay in the French team. However, the course of the forward to Saudi Arabia is a hard hit for 'The Focenses'.
The substitute of the footballer
Now the French club has to centre his aim in achieving a substitute of the exjugador of Chelsea because the team has remained with a leading solo centre, Faris Moumbagna. The captain of the selection of Gabon arrived the past season to the French club after a stage complicated in Chelsea. In this context, his period in Véledrome was stood out to level of statistics: 29 goals and 11 assistances. Now only it is missing to see if the attacker can surpass or equate his level of game and profile goleador in the To the-Qadsiah.
