In the intervening years, the Galician tradition club even dropped to the third division, but has found its way back up again thanks to a strong last season in LaLiga 2.
Deportivo is aiming for stability and maintenance upon its return, and sees Aubameyang as an immediate reinforcement for the vanguard. His depth, experience and nose for goal should help make the difference in matches that are often decided on details. The Gabonese can also serve as an example for a young core that makes the step to La Liga.
TheThe start of the competition for Deportivo is set for August 17, when Elche visits the Riazor. It is likely that Aubameyang will make his first minutes in blue and white in the run-up to that opening match, provided that the administrative formalities are completed in time. The club already announced in a welcome message that it is pleased with the arrival of the striker, who is starting his fifth club in six years after his second departure from Marseille.
With this transfer, Deportivo underlines the ambition to be competitive immediately after promotion. For Aubameyang it is the chance to once again show that he is a reliable goalscorer in a familiar competition, now in a team that is hungry to remain at the highest level.
What's happening now
Aubameyang's debut for Deportivo La Coruña is scheduled against Elche on August 17, which will be a crucial moment for both the player and the club.
