Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has signed for Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Qadsiah for a reported fee of between 9 and €10m.

The 35-year-old Gabonese international joins after one year at Olympique Marseille in which he scored 30 goals with the Ligue 1 side in all competitions and became the top goal scorer in the history of the UEFA Europa League with 31 goals.

Aubameyang is set to earn a reported €20m per season with his new club.

Meanwhile, Maximilian Ibrahimovic, Zlatan's eldest son, has signed his first professional contract with AC Milan, the Italian club said on Thursday.

Marseille are lining up Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood as a replacement.//

Ibrahimovic junior will play with Milan Futuro, Milan’s new under-23 team that will feature in Serie C, the third division.

Maximilian, who will turn 18 in September, has previously played with Milan youth teams.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored 93 goals in 163 appearances over two spells at Milan. He retired last year and serves as an adviser to the club.
