Florian Thauvin will play his last matches under the colors of Olympique de Marseille. Direction Mexico: the 28-year-old international tricolor will be a player for the Tigers from next season, as the Mexican club has just announced on its social networks. He joins the former OM striker André-Pierre Gignac, who has become a star in his club, the Tigers.

Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, had nevertheless made him an offer of a five-year contract, but it would be the financial argument that finally convinced Florian Thauvin. The latter arrived at the end of his contract with the Marseille club where he has played since 2013. He left six months for Newcastle in 2015, before returning to Marseille.
