Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is heading back to La Liga, and he’s doing it with a club that has its own comeback story to tell. The 37-year-old striker has reached an agreement in principle to join Deportivo La Coruna, with a two-year contract pending only a medical examination and final paperwork, according to reports from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano on July 15, 2026.
The reported transfer fee is €1.5 million, paid by Deportivo to Marseille.
A reunion with Spanish football
This would be Aubameyang’s return to Spain after his time at Barcelona, where he arrived in January 2022 and quickly reminded everyone he could still score goals at the highest level. He left Camp Nou for Chelsea that same summer, beginning a nomadic stretch that eventually landed him in Marseille.
Deportivo La Coruna, meanwhile, is writing its own redemption arc. The club earned promotion back to La Liga after spending eight years outside the top flight of Spanish football.
