At the end of his contract with Olympique de Marseille, Florian Thauvin (28 years old, 36 games and 8 goals in L1 this season) will fly to Mexico and the Monterrey Tigers. When bidding farewell to the Marseille club, the right winger spoke with Eric Di Meco on the OM website. And the world champion confirmed to have refused to join Olympique Lyonnais, despite a great proposal.
“I had the opportunity to go to Lyon, but I didn’t feel capable of doing that. When you’re Marseillais one day, you’re Marseillais forever, assured the former Bastiais. (…) C ‘is necessarily something you take into account. I had the possibility of staying in Europe, of going to rival clubs. But I did not necessarily want that “.
Faithful to Ciel et Blanc, Thauvin added. “I do things with the heart. When I interact with a club and its leaders, I have to feel something. That’s what happened during my interview with the Tigers. It’s good that it’s not that close and that I don’t have to face OM. “
