Gabon forward Aubameyang leaves Marseille for Deportivo La Coruna

Gabon's star striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has made a move to Spain, joining newly promoted La Liga club Deportivo La Coruna. The 37-year-old forward signed a contract that will keep him with the Spanish side until 2028.

Aubameyang departs Marseille after a successful tenure, during which he played 92 matches and netted 44 goals. He arrived at the French club in the summer of 2023 and had a year remaining on his contract. His career also includes a stint at Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadsiah in 2025, following his time in France.

Deportivo La Coruna highlighted Aubameyang's "exceptional consistency at the highest level" in a statement. The well-traveled striker boasts an impressive resume, having played for prominent clubs such as Germany's Borussia Dortmund and English Premier League teams Arsenal and Chelsea. He also had a six-month spell at Barcelona four years ago, scoring 13 goals in 24 appearances.

Deportivo La Coruna's return to Spain's top flight follows an eight-season absence. Aubameyang's arrival is expected to bolster their squad as they aim to establish themselves in La Liga.
