The move represents a statement signing for a club that only returned to LaLiga this summer after eight years away, giving Riazor a forward with genuine pedigree at the top level of European football.
Aubameyang arrives from Marseille, where he enjoyed a productive campaign last season, playing 30 Ligue 1 matches and scoring 10 goals with six assists.
He also featured in two Coupe de France matches, scoring once, and made eight Champions League appearances, contributing three goals and four assists in Europe's premier club competition. The Gabon international's continued output at the highest level, even at 37, underlines why Deportivo moved decisively to secure his signature ahead of their return to the Spanish top flight.
The forward's career has taken him through some of European football's biggest clubs. He is best remembered for his spell at Borussia Dortmund, where he established himself as one of the continent's most feared strikers, scoring 141 goals in 213 appearances and finishing as Bundesliga top scorer in 2016-17.
He also had spells at Arsenal, where he won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018-19 with 22 goals, and at Barcelona, before later becoming Europa League top scorer with Marseille in 2023-24.
His arrival at Riazor fits a broader pattern of ambitious business by Deportivo this summer as the club builds a squad capable of competing in LaLiga after their long absence from the top division.
Supporters have greeted the signing enthusiastically, with Aubameyang's experience and proven goalscoring record seen as exactly what the club needs to make an immediate impact back among Spain's elite, even as questions remain over how his fitness will hold up across a full LaLiga campaign at this stage of his career.
The deal was reportedly agreed for a modest fee in the region of €1.5m, reflecting his contract situation at Marseille and representing shrewd business for a club working within tighter financial constraints than most of the sides it will now compete against.
Deportivo La Coruna have been active throughout the summer as they prepare for the step up, with sporting director Fernando Soriano indicating further additions are expected before the window closes, as the club looks to build a squad capable of establishing itself in the top flight rather than making a swift return to the second tier.
