Gabon attacker Aubameyang, 35, joined the southern club from Chelsea last July and scored 30 goals during the campaign. According to multiple media reports, English attacker Greenwood, who had charges including rape and assault against him dropped in February 2023, is being lined up by Marseille.
"It's time for me to start a new chapter," Aubameyang said on Instagram. "I have always followed the advice of my father, who has allowed me to become the player I am and we have made this decision for the next part of my career. "I spent a year filled with emotion and I thank the club, the staff, my team-mates and our supporters," he added.
The future could bring Aubameyang together with one of his rivals in the past Nacho Fernandez, against whom he played when he was at Barcelona and the centre-back at Real Madrid.
Rumours of the summer transfer window placed the former Marseille striker's possible destination at Al Qadsiah, who according to Fabrizio Romano would join the Saudi side until the 2026 season.
