HITC understands that Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah have agreed terms to sign ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The former Arsenal striker is set to leave French side Marseille just one season after joining them from Chelsea.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed a three-year deal with the French outfit but he is set for an early exit with terms now agreed for a move to Saudi Arabia.

The Aubameyang agreement will have a domino effect for Manchester United as it allows Marseille to push forward with their deal to sign Mason Greenwood.

HITC confirmed last week that Manchester United and Marseille agreed terms over a deal for Greenwood.

Marseille are now eager to have Greenwood complete a medical this weekend ahead of the deal being finalised and announced.

Marseille pushing ahead in deal for Mason Greenwood

Greenwood’s time at Manchester United is coming to an end. There was plenty of interest in his signature this summer after his loan spell at Getafe last season and Marseille are set to win the race.

HITC understands that the total package of the deal is worth €30million (£25million).

United were initially holding out for a £40million deal this summer but they soon realised that the valuation would not be met so they accepted a lesser deal that included a substantial sell-on clause.

Greenwood had been considering his options this summer but Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi pushed hard to get him to the South of France.

As an academy product of United, Greenwood’s sale will provide a big boost to the club’s spending power under the current Profit and Sustainability Rules.
