At 39, André-Pierre Gignac is getting closer to the end of his career. The top scorer in the history of the tigers (219 achievements since his arrival in Mexico in 2015) began the Liga MX season as a replacement in mid-January before being stopped net by a partial break in a tendon of Achilles during his second entry. The former French international, unhappy finalist in Euro 2016, resumed on February 26 but was then complained about his. of the last two weeks of competition.
Gignac will resume with Monterrey's training in the coming days and will try to improve his statistics during his league or champions cup appearances. If it is under contract until June 30, the native of Martigues should probably extend his lease until 2026, he who has an option to join the club management once retired. “Dédé” Gignac has 363 goals in professional career. He scored 7 goals in 36 in the national team, 4 with the Olympic EDF or especially 42 with the Toulouse FC and 77 with OM.
Gignac on the podium?
With his 363 achievements, André-Pierre Gignac can boast of being the 4th French player to have scored the most goals at the professional level, behind Roger Courtois (364 goals), the artilleryman of Sochaux in the years, as well as Thierry Henry (411 goals), legend of Arsenal and the French team, and Karim Benzema (491 goals) 2022 which is still active at 37 (in Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia).
Gignac can therefore hope to rise to the podium of the best French scorers in history by exceeding courteous, but he is also under the threat of a Kylian Mbappé who still has 10 years in his Carrièr. The Real Madrid star striker scored a double Saturday evening with the Merengues against Villarreal (0-2) and has 362 professional goals, one less than Gignac (and one more than Bafé Gomis now). The captain of the French team is just making his return to the Blues next week for the quarter -final of the League of Nations against Croatia (Thursday and Sunday).
