Marseille opens the door for Aubameyang's departure.

The Aubameyang adventure comes to an end with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. At 37, the Gabonese star is set to leave Marseille despite a solid season. Now, he is expected in Spain, according to Foot Mercato.

The decision to let Aubameyang go has become inevitable at Olympique de Marseille, according to French media. The Marseille club, struggling financially and denied Champions League football, is working to reduce its wage bill. The Gabonese star is among the most notable casualties of this move.

After returning just a year ago, the Gabonese international delivered an impressive performance, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. Even Bruno Génésio admitted in a press conference that he would have liked to keep him, but the economic factor had the final say.

Set to sign in Spain

Despite interest from clubs in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Spain, Aubameyang has made his choice. According to the same source, he will join Deportivo La Coruña. The Galician club will pay the release clause of €1.5 million.

This marks a return to La Liga, four years after his brief but successful stint with Barcelona. Deportivo, newly promoted to the top flight after having dropped as low as the fourth division, is counting on the Gabonese star's experience to help them stay among the elite.
