Due to his disappointing performance compared to his XXL salary, winger Florian Thauvin finds himself pushed out by the Monterrey Tigers in this winter transfer window. And the Mexican club would have the idea to send him back on loan to Olympique de Marseille.
Florian Thauvin could be ready for OM.
What if an innocuous scene finally had an impact on Olympique de Marseille’s winter transfer window? On November 13, Monterrey Tigres winger Florian Thauvin was spotted in talks with Marseille president Pablo Longoria in the stands of the Louis II Stadium.
Present to support his ex-team against AS Monaco (3-2) in Ligue 1, has the French international raised the possibility of a return to La Canebire with the Spaniard?
Thauvin, the idea of a loan to OM!
Because according to information from the media Debate, the 2018 world champion finds himself pushed to the exit by the Mexican club! Since his arrival in 2021, the Habs have embodied a real disappointment with largely insufficient statistics: 8 goals and 5 assists in 38 games in all competitions. A return far too low compared to his XXL salary, estimated at 5 million euros per year (highest paid player in the country).
And to allow him to revive, the Tigers want to send Thauvin Marseille back as part of a loan! As we know, Longoria is looking for an opportunity to strengthen its attacking sector after the serious injury of Amine Harit and the hoped-for departure of Gerson. On paper, Thauvin can therefore embody a solution, especially in the event of a failure of the discussions for the Atalanta Bergamo player Ruslan Malinovskyi.
Does the French want to come back?
However, one can wonder if the native of Orleans, who has always proclaimed his happiness in Mexico, will intend to move. Then under contract until June 2026, does Thauvin want to find OM? During his career, he still spent 7 years in Marseille and perhaps wanted to discover another context in the event of a departure from the Tigers. Especially since last June, Thauvin had made, off the air on RMC, controversial remarks about life in Marseille, particularly in relation to the education of his child (see here). The phocens fans have probably not forgotten…
