As per Fabrizio Romano’s update, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has successfully passed his medical tests and is now set to join Olympique Marseille as a new player.
The Ligue 1 club has successfully negotiated with Chelsea, securing the 34-year-old striker, and he is scheduled to undergo his medical tomorrow.
Olympique Marseille was determined to strengthen their attacking options during this transfer window, and Aubameyang was among their priority targets.
After engaging in discussions with Chelsea for some time, they have finally reached an agreement for his services.
Aubameyang had already reached a personal agreement with the club a few days ago, expressing his readiness to sign a three-year contract and showing his enthusiasm for the move.
Marseille was working to convince Chelsea for a free transfer, and they have succeeded in doing so.
At Chelsea, Aubameyang was not part of Mauricio Pochettino’s plans going forward, and his departure will aid the London club in achieving better financial balance, given his significant wage.
The deal will be official once documents for contract termination with Chelsea are signed.
