The interest of Olympique de Marseille for a return of Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang is strongly expressed by Marc Libbra, former attacker of the club. Libbra believes that the experience, mind and attitude of the Gabonese attacker would make it a major asset for OM, stressing its ability to adapt quickly to Marseille pressure and meet the expectations of the stadium. He stressed the proven value of Aubameyang despite a sometimes difficult context and the human contribution he could bring to the group, especially in European matches. This track is all the more relevant as OM, in the midst of reconstruction under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, is looking for an experienced and leadership player to mentor a young workforce and aim for a European qualification.

However, competition for the arrival of Aubameyang is strong, notably from Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, which has made this issue a priority. Despite this competition, OM has started active discussions to organize the return of Aubameyang, which is expected to announce its future destination in the coming days. Negotiation remains complex, with the interest of other European clubs that can intervene at any time. OM must therefore step up its efforts to convince Aubameyang, potentially by increasing its offer, in order to close this case, which would be a blow to the club.

At the same time, OM confirms the departure of Igor Paixão to Feyenoord, with which the Dutch club has reached an agreement for the transfer of Gonçalo Borges, following a difficulty to agree on the amount of the transaction with OM. The Brazilian midfielder had already reached a wage agreement with Marseille, but the financial disagreement with Feyenoord blocked the operation. For its part, Pau López should leave OM for the Mexican club of Toluca, via the activation of a purchase option, before finally joining Real Betis Seville. These departures potentially open opportunities for OM, but require careful arrival management to maintain a competitive workforce.
