When I was little, I promised myself that I would have a job in line with football. Very quickly, I realized that my feet would not be enough to take me where I wanted so journalism became obvious.

After a long and beautiful adventure with OM, Florian Thauvin had taken the direction of Mexico where he had joined the Tigres de Monterrey. A year and a half later, his contract has just been terminated by the Mexican club. While a return to Marseille has been mentioned, the Olympian management would absolutely not consider it.

Gone for freeOM after very long negotiations for an extension which ultimately did not succeed, Florian Thauvin got lost in Mexico. The 2018 world champion thought he was living a great adventure alongsideAndre Pierre Gignac who became a legend Monterrey Tigers. But nothing or almost nothing happened as planned for Florian Thauvin who has just seen his contract terminated in order to free up a place outside the community.

Thauvin’s Calvary

I have to say that Thauvin has lost some of its luster. Declining statistics and especially difficulties of adaptation in a championship which is not as obvious as it seems. Hampered by a few injuries, especially on his arrival, Florian Thauvin then had to prove himself, he who started many times on the bench. A year and a half after his arrival as a rockstar, Thauvin will therefore leave tigers and Mexico in total anonymity. An outcome that the former player of theOM surely did not imagine when he opted for this challenge.

OM have decided for a return

From now on, the question of its future will arise. Florian Thauvin is only 29 years old and he still has things to prove. A return to France has necessarily been mentioned and OM automatically comes into the discussion. But since leaving Thauvin in the summer of 2021, the Olympian club has changed a lot, particularly in terms of its recruitment policy. If the old leadership of theOM did not hesitate to repatriate Steve Mandanda and especially Dimitri Payet, Pablo Longoria would definitely not consider bringing back Florian Thauvin confirm log Provence. The former darling of the Vélodrome will have to find another base.
