"Florian Thauvin has certainly had a really interesting career in recent years, and it may have been slightly more 'normal' had he opted to join AC Milan. Few players have hit numbers like Thauvin did in the late 2010s, as he scored 53 goals in three seasons in Ligue 1, whilst also providing 29 assists. A phenomenal output record, and it is clear why Milan were interested."
"In September 2020, I was close to joining AC Milan. The negotiations with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara had started very well, but I had already reached an agreement with Tigres. I made a mistake, and in the end, AC Milan remained just a suggestion. His record in Mexico was far from the levels he was at in France. Perhaps if he had remained in Europe, they would have continued."
Florian Thauvin produced outstanding numbers in the late 2010s, scoring 53 goals and supplying 29 assists across three Ligue 1 seasons. AC Milan expressed strong interest and entered talks with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara in 2020. Thauvin had already agreed terms with Tigres and completed a move to Mexico in September 2020. The player later described choosing Tigres as a mistake and said AC Milan remained only a suggestion. Thauvin's form in Mexico fell short of his French performances, and he has since returned to France following a spell with Udinese.
