Best player at Olympique de Marseille since the start of the season, Florian Thauvin is entering his last year of contract. Pablo Longoria has a mission, to extend the world champion.
No one can dispute it, Florian Thauvin achieves an ideal start to the 2020-2021 championship or almost, the French international sometimes holding OM at arm’s length during difficult times. All is well in the best of all possible worlds for Flotov, except that the latter is now at the end of his contract and next January he will be free to sign where he wants, without being accountable to Jacques-Henri Eyraud. But the side of the president of Olympique de Marseille is not considering this disaster scenario and this is the message that Pablo Longoria conveyed in an interview with Téléfoot. For the sporting director of the Marseille club, the departure of Florian Thauvin is not recorded, far from it, Longoria believing that the player has opened the door to an extension.
In a recent interview with L’Equipe, Florian Thauvin had indeed said all the good things he thought about Olympique de Marseille, life in the Marseille city and his relationship with André Villas-Boas. For Pablo Longoria, the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. “ I talk about heritage all the time here at the club, it’s important to have heritage. Florian Thauvin is an important part of OM’s heritage. Yes, it would be hard to lose an important player like Florian Thauvin. This is why we must all work together, the club, the player, the player’s entourage in order to find the best solution. Football and life is always about finding solutions. We have to solve the problems and arrive at a meeting point between us (…) I really believe in Florian’s words when he speaks of continuity, and I am happy to find an opening on his side. “, Launched the sports director of OM, visibly quite confident in this Thauvin 2021 operation.
