Almost everything has been said about the contrasting career choices of Florian Thauvin since his departure from OM in July 2021 at the end of his contract. Between the Tigres and even Udinese, the results are not satisfactory despite some flashes in Serie A (3 goals and 3 assists with a team only 15th in Serie A). But the arrival of a new coach with a 3-5-2 tactical scheme, poorly suited to the qualities of the 30-year-old French international striker, sent Thauvin to the sidelines. Once again, on December 26, the latter only entered eleven minutes from the end against Bologna.
His fourth consecutive entry into play even though the player is performing very well in training and the management of the Italian club continues to remind him that he is essential to Udinese. A situation which is becoming untenable for the former Marseillais who only aspires to one thing, to return to France as we revealed to you at the very end of December. To return to a championship where he left his mark (86 goals and 51 assists in 259 matches with OM) and undoubtedly which he should never have left, that is his wish.
Le Gym is considering relaunching Florian Thauvin
An interesting profile in more than one way, because apart from the fact that Thauvin is hungry for balls, the latter has solid experience, knows Ligue 1 very well and can be recovered as part of a loan with an option to buy . So many reasons that give more than one elite club pause. A first formation from France has also clearly shown its interest in the 2018 world champion: OGC Nice. The sporting director of the Riviera club, Florent Ghisolfi, is actively looking for a player in this position and is carefully studying the profile of the Udinese player.
Another Ligue 1 club whose name has not been filtered, attracted by the prospect of being able to recover the player on loan, is also considering taking action. Two and a half years after his departure from France, Florian Thauvin could well be one of the big hits of the winter transfer window in Ligue 1. It now remains to be seen who could win the prize.
