Overview
- RC Deportivo issued an official statement confirming Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang as a new player after he signed a contract that runs until June 2028.
- Multiple outlets report the transfer fee is about €1.5 million and the club presented the move as part of a wider recruitment drive to prepare for top‑flight competition.
- The transfer follows Aubameyang's exclusion from Marseille's pre‑season plans and builds on his 2025/26 output of 10 Ligue 1 goals and five assists for Marseille.
- Deportivo hope the 37‑year‑old's experience at clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona will add proven attacking options to help avoid an immediate return to the second tier.
- The signing marks Aubameyang's return to LaLiga for a team that comes back to the top flight after eight years and it will be watched for its impact on Deportivo's attack and Marseille's wage bill.
