Aubameyang set for La Liga return with Deportivo move close

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on the verge of heading back to Spanish football. According to FootMercato, the 37-year-old Marseille striker has all but sealed a permanent transfer to Deportivo La Coruña, a club that won promotion to La Liga last season after finishing top of the Segunda División. The reported fee is around €1.5 million. For Marseille, offloading the Gabonese veteran is part of a wider squad overhaul — the French side already parted ways with Mason Greenwood earlier this window. Deportivo are banking on Aubameyang's top-level experience to help them stay afloat in Spain's top flight. The striker knows the league well, having previously played for Barcelona during the 2021-22 campaign. The move is expected to be wrapped up in the coming days, with Aubameyang set to join his new teammates ahead of the new season.
