After a year in Saudi Arabia, Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang is about to return to the Olympique de Marseille. Discussions between the player and the Marseille club progressed very positively, and a two-season contractual agreement seemed imminent. The termination of his contract with Al-Qadisiya is a crucial step in formalizing his return, which is both sporting and symbolic for Marseille supporters. Aubameyang, trained at OM and with a rich European experience, would bring his leadership, speed and sense of purpose to a team seeking renewal.

At the same time, Olympique de Marseille is actively exploring the transfer market to strengthen its attack. The interest in Malick Fofana, a young winger of Olympique Lyonnais, is confirmed by several media. OM has already made an offer for the player, but the competition is strong, with major European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool also interested. The Marseille club also initially targeted Igor Paixão, but the negotiations were bogged down, which prompted OM to consider other options such as Fofana.

Finally, OM negotiates an exchange with the Juventus Turin involving Valentin Rongier and Timothy Weah. The French midfielder, whose contract expires, could be transferred to the Juventus against the arrival of Weah, which is of great interest to the Marseille recruitment cell. This operation could satisfy the needs of both clubs, while meeting each other’s objectives. The next few days will be crucial for the success of these different avenues.
