Announced to return to Ligue 1, Florian Thauvin scored for Udinese against Fiorentina (2-2), Sunday in Serie A, and congratulated himself on X after the match. As if the 2018 world champion stayed in Italy…
Two weeks after the start of the winter transfer window (and therefore 15 days from the end), Florian Thauvin has still not left Udinese, as he demanded a few weeks ago, to sign for a League club 1. The former OM star player was notably announced in the sights of Montpellier, OL and especially Stade Rennais, where his friend Steve Mandanda plays.
“FloTov” scored his third goal in Serie A with the Friulani after coming into play (53rd), taking a right-footed cross from Sandi Lovric (73rd). “ Congratulations to the team for the performance today. I am sure we are on the path to victory. Happy to have scored my first goal in 2024. Forza Udinese », he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), he who rarely comments on his performances in Italy.
It was another player trained in France, the Angolan international M’Bala Nzola, who equalized for the Florentine club (87th). La Viola limits the damage by remaining 4th in the standings ahead of Lazio with one more point. The Udinese team is 16th with only one point more than the first relegation, Hellas Verona.
Congratulations to the team for the performance today. I am sure we are on the path to victory. Happy to have scored my first goal in 2024. Forza Udinese @udinesecalcio ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/oPHjs741b1
