Aubameyang is the Gabon national team's all-time leading scorer with 35 goals.

His other former clubs include AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, while he has won several major trophies, including the 2022/23 La Liga title with Barcelona.

Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last term behind champions Paris Saint-Germain to qualify for the Champions League.
