The name of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang still keeps on being remembered with nostalgia in the City Condal. The gabonés arrived in 2022 with the letter of freedom and had a remarkable impact in terms of performance, adding 13 goals and an assistance, in what it was one of the most complicated stages for the combined Barcelona so much in the economic as in the sportive. Unfortunately, for him, his adventure in the Barça could not extend further of a season, and in the summer of 2022, put course to London when turning into the new signing of Chelsea.

However, his go through the 'Blues' was far to be successful, since in 21 alone meetings attained to convert three targets and contribute an assistance, without attaining adapt to the dynamics of the combined londinense, that neither had a collective performance stood out. In front of this situation, the forward looked for a new destination to follow showing his football, even offering to the Barça during the last market of summer, offering all the eases for his return.

Now, as a result of this, another appearance that anybody took into account was the remarkable backstitch goleador that would have Aubameyang in this campaign. Although anybody doubts of the contrasted quality of the gabonés, his low performance in Chelsea carried to think that it would not have an exert scorer so stood out. Nevertheless, 'Auba' has led the offensive of the Olympique of Marseilles, accumulating 12 goals and six assistances in the 21 duels in which it has participated with the 'Focenses'.

These are numbers very respectable for a forward that could have shared the forward with Lewandowski, to the one who aventaja slightly in the statistics, surpassing him at present by three targets and two passes to goal. It would have been a healthy and necessary competition. However, the transfer did not concretise . Finally, the Barça seems to be had to trust Vitor Roque to contribute this capacity and efficiency goleadora that, for one reason or another, the team carece in the actuality.
