Another deal that has taken place is Pierre Aubameyang's joining of Olympique Marseille on a three-year contract. While this player is no longer young, Pochettino has chosen not to include him in his team's design scheme. I witnessed Aubameyang's brilliance during his time at Arsenal, but it dimmed when he was brought in by Chelsea from Barcelona.

In my opinion, his decision to move to Ligue 1 in France is a better choice than stagnating in his career in England.

As far as i have seen, Aubameyang did not really play a big role since he joined FC Chelsea before the start of the last season, so i definitely agree, that a transfer to another club definitely makes a lot of sense for every party involved. That being said, i am actually pretty surprised that Aubameyang is going to Olympique Marseille and not to a club in the MLS in the US or a club in those Saudi League. He is already 34 years old and it is very much possible, that his new contract in Marseille will be the last of his career. If that will be the case, then i have a lot of respect for him, that he did not choose to go to Saudi Arabia or the US to earn a lot of money.

I'm just curious about Aubameyang's goal if it's just about career or what.
Because if I should be Aubameyang at an old age and choose the last club before retiring I would prefer to go to MLS in the US which can provide more money to be with my family when I retire even though Saudi Arabia also offers a big offer but it looks like Saudi Arabia not a choice.
But I don't know what Aubameyang is thinking instead preferring to go to a French club which may not necessarily be able to provide a bigger salary.
Aubameyang himself is quite old and I don't think Marseille will pay too much because of course after an old age this player's performance will decrease and his contribution will not be too big.
However, it was Aubameyang decision to go to France for the last time of his career.
