Despite his age, André-Pierre Gignac continues to be one of the most respected and coveted pieces in Liga MX. The 37-year-old French goalscorer led the UANL Tigres to the last championship against Chivas de Guadalajara. But the feline group will have to endure the attacks of other teams that will try to “steal” it.
11 goals and 3 assists, this was the contribution of Gignac in the Clausura 2023 Mexican soccer. The former Olympique Marseille soccer player continues to be a decisive player in the Mexican tournament. But from a couple of countries they would try to sign him.
“Clubs from Qatar and Brazil are interested in the 37-year-old striker from Tigres André-Pierre Gignac”, This was reported by the journalist Ekrem Konur through his social networks.
Is it possible that Gignac leaves the Liga MX?
Despite the interest of an exotic football and with economic resources like that of Qatar, Gignac’s departure from Liga MX is unlikely. One of the arguments that disarm this possibility was pronounced by the president of the UANL Tigres, Mauricio Culebro.
“He has two years left on his contract and still finishing the game on Sunday, he approached me and told me that, when we renewed the contract, that he had to win two more championships, and he told me on Sunday: ‘We already won one, we need another’ and it is André’s mentality and we work on that, to be able to fulfill what he said”, indicated the manager for Fox Sports.
Gignac has left a great mark on Mexican soccer with Tigres de la UANL. The French attacker has played 338 games with the feline team in which he has scored 189 goals and granted 46 assists. Despite his great performance, his age is one of the factors that reduce his token value to just $1.8 million dollars according to Transfermarkt.
