Former French international Florian Thauvin has seen his rating drop sharply since leaving Ligue 1.
Florian Thauvin may be world champion with the French team, but his value is no longer what it was. In the process of changing clubs during this transfer window, the former Marseille player should only cost his future buyer two million euros.
Will Thauvin do a Ben Arfa?
According to information disclosed by “Le Foot”, the French international should join Stade Rennais. And the Breton club will not have to pay a fortune for its services. 2 million euros is almost three times the investment made in Turkish international Bertug Yildirim last summer.
As a reminder, Thauvin’s last two transfers were made without transfer compensation. He left OM for the Tigers, then the Tigers as a free player. When he left Marseille in the summer of 2011, his price was still estimated at 17 million euros.
For the SRFC, this is therefore a real boon. We will still have to wait before knowing whether it is a good operation or not. Didn’t Rennais obtain the services of Hatem Ben Arfa for free in 2019, with almost no profit in the end. It’s up to Thauvin to prove that he can still perform at the highest level.
