This is not information, just a discussion about RMC on After Foot on Wednesday night. And it must be said that Florian Thauvin, whose return to Ligue 1 in Lens last season was very successful as the 2018 World Cup champion was decisive, especially in the race for the French Cup, is a topic of discussion.
It was Walid Akherchur who put it on the table: “ I’m throwing in a little idea: the return of Florian Thauvin to OM. Will Florian Thauvin come to OM? Right on Greenwood Square. Florian Thauvin, who refused to take a penalty against OM last year at Bollaert Stadium, if we call him tomorrow and say: “Listen, my friend, you are the leader of OM in the Europa League” Thauvin, I think Marseillais today accept this every day. .
Happy and satisfied in Lens
The Lençois playmaker (33 years old), who has a contract until 2028, has made no secret of his desire to end his career by returning to Marseille, where he spent seven and a half seasons between 2013 and 2021. In particular, he called his favorite club in January 2024, before returning to France, in the Carré media: A performance of The Last Dance at OM could be something exceptional.. But it’s more complicated than that and today I’m really thinking about focusing on myself and getting back to my best level. I think about my career and of course, if one day she has to go through OM, I will be very happy. »
But although Lens qualified for the Champions League, he has also assured since the beginning of May that he remains at a club where he is satisfied and happy. On Canal+ he stated: “ I came to try to bring the club back to Europe, which was not achieved last season. This will be an additional “step”, this is exactly the goal I set for myself upon returning to France, we met our goals, so it is planned that I will stay in Lens. »
And then the sports commentator also noted in the same program that the financial situation of the Marseille club is difficult: “ It’s very hot in OM. No money. It will be from 2 to 5 million euros. Transfers of 10-15 million are over. The recruiting department must be very good. Everything is for sale. »
The fact remains: in modern football anything is always possible. It is also necessary that the proposal, if it exists, be irrefutable…
