Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on the verge of completing a surprising switch to Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña, with a two-year agreement now reached in principle.
The veteran forward is expected to leave Olympique de Marseille, who will receive a fee of €1.5 million once the deal is finalized. Only minor details and the formal signing of contracts remain before the move is officially confirmed.
Aubameyang, who enjoyed a productive spell in France, is now poised for a fresh chapter in Spain, where Deportivo are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming campaign. The move signals a statement of intent from the historic club as they continue their push to re-establish themselves at a higher competitive level.
For Marseille, the deal represents a strategic departure, allowing the club to reshape its squad while recouping a fee for the experienced striker. Aubameyang’s exit will mark the end of a brief but impactful stint, during which his leadership and goal-scoring instincts proved valuable.
Should the transfer be completed as expected, Deportivo will gain not only a proven goalscorer but also a player with vast experience across Europe’s top leagues, a factor that could prove decisive in their ambitions for the season ahead.
