Aubameyang has set Ligue 1 alight since his surprise move from Chelsea to Olympique de Marseille in 2025. Now, after a stellar debut season in southern France, the 36-year-old forward has opened up on his motivation, passion, and the uncertainty that still lingers around his future.
In a revealing interview earlier this week, Aubameyang admitted that despite his commitment to the Marseille cause, he remains unsure about what lies ahead. “I don’t know what’s going to happen this season,” he said. “But I just know I’m very happy here.”
Aubameyang’s performances on the pitch have spoken volumes. The English forward notched an impressive 30 goals in his debut season, quickly becoming a fan favorite at the Stade Vélodrome. With two years remaining on his contract, Aubameyang is determined to make his mark — not just on the pitch, but in the club’s history books.
“When I got to Marseille, I wanted to make history, to be fighting for these things,” he said. “And I’m very happy to play for the Marseille shirt.”
But the most striking part of Aubameyang’s comments came when he shared his emotional connection with the club and its supporters — a connection he describes as fueling his drive to play with intensity and pride.
“I’m prepared physically and mentally for the game,” Aubameyang said. “I want to write my name in the history of Marseille.”
Despite interest from abroad and speculation over his next move, Aubameyang remains fully engaged in the present. His commitment to OM’s title ambitions is clear, and sources close to the club suggest that he’s viewed as a cornerstone of the team’s future under new management.
“When the time comes and the season begins, I’ll be able to do my part — if the option opens up,” he added cryptically, hinting at potential transfer talks behind the scenes.
For now, Aubameyang is focused on giving everything for the Marseille faithful — and if his performances are anything to go by, he’s playing not just to win games, but to carve out a legacy.
Whether he stays in France long-term remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Aubameyang is playing his heart out for Marseille — and it’s for a reason that goes beyond football.
