Aubameyang joins Deportivo in statement move for LaLiga return

Deportivo de La Coruña have completed the signing of Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang from Olympique Marseille, adding a marquee name to their squad ahead of their long‑awaited return to LaLiga. The Gabonese striker arrives for a fee of €1.5 million and has signed a contract through 2028, becoming the standout addition of Depor’s summer rebuild. After eight seasons away from the top tier, the club is determined to make its comeback sustainable, prioritising experience and proven quality.

Aubameyang fits that profile perfectly, returning to Spanish football after a prolific spell at Barcelona, where he scored 13 goals in 24 matches. Despite his veteran status, his arrival is viewed as a major coup and a significant upgrade for Deportivo’s attack. The club’s optimism is growing as they aim to secure top‑flight survival, with Aubameyang expected to play a central role in guiding a newly assembled squad through the challenges of LaLiga.
