Official: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaves Al Qadsiah by mutual consent

Al Qadsiah have officially announced the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after both parties agreed to terminate the contract by mutual consent. The decision comes just one year after the Gabonese striker joined the Saudi club.

Aubameyang had a strong season with Al Qadsiah, scoring 21 goals and providing 3 assists in 36 matches across all competitions.

He had joined Al Qadsiah in the summer of 2024 on a contract that was supposed to run until June 2026, but despite his good performance, the club has decided to move in a different direction and is now going to sign a younger striker.

Negotiations are already close to be successful with Italian forward Mateo Retegui who arrived in Saudi Arabia to complete the move.

Before moving to Saudi Arabia, Aubameyang had a very good spell with Olympique de Marseille during the 2023–2024 season. He played 51 matches in all competitions, scoring 30 goals and providing 11 assists.
