Aubameyang's agent recently held in-depth talks with the management of Marseille, who clearly expressed their strong desire to keep Aubameyang for at least one more season.

Aubameyang played 51 matches for Marseille in all competitions last season, contributing 30 goals and 11 assists, a performance that has certainly increased his appeal in the transfer market.
