The French striker, goalscorer and star of Tigers, Andre Pierre Gignac, has had several suitors for his ability against the framework and his extensive career, including the historical Corinthians from Brazil.

“The CIFUT (Soccer Intelligence Center), responsible for performance analysis, was looking for players and the name of Gignac and two other forwards appeared. When I saw his name, I said, ‘Master, you can sign it with your eyes closed’.” he. He is also a former soccer player.
Fabinho, who was Gignac’s teammate in Toulouse from the French league, assured Corinthians had the intention of signing the French footballer after his great performance at Tigres.
The high salary that André Pierre-Gignac has received since his arrival at the Liga MX, made his signature impossible.
“He would be the face of Corinthians. He’s a tough player, he even plays injured. He’s always fighting for the ball, he’s very competitive. We didn’t even make a proposal because his salary at Tigres is unreal,” Fabinho estimated. .
It should be noted that Gignac is the highest paid footballer in Aztec football as he receives a salary of about $ 4.6 million per year, a figure that the Brazilian team could not compete with.
