According to information from several Mexican media, including Grafico Tigres, Florian Thauvin could join the Mexican championship in the coming months.
This information is not confirmed either by the player's entourage or by his club, Olympique de Marseille.
But this could be done from the next school year.
According to our Mexican colleagues, the 2018 world champion would be close to reaching an agreement with the Monterrey Tigers, where another former Marseillais, André-Pierre Gignac, has already played successfully since 2015.

Even if this possible transfer should be taken with a grain of salt at this time, two elements go in its direction. Florian Thauvin is coming to the end of his contract with OM where he has been playing for five years. Above all, Mexican media are already advancing sums and a period of commitment. They talk about four years of contract with the last finalist of the Club World Cup. Florian Thauvin, 28, could in passing touch a salary of 5 million euros net per year and a nice signing bonus, namely 5 million euros, which could make him want to cross the Atlantic. But nothing is acted out because the Marseille club also wishes to extend it.
