Welcome to our video today. We will be discussing the recent transfer of Florian Thauvin to Udinese in Serie A. According to sources from RMC and Gianluca Di Marzio, the French player Florian Thauvin may be back in Europe. Initially, it was reported that the winger was going back to Ligue 1, but after OM and OL denied contact with the player, it seems that he is headed to Udinese in Serie A. It is believed that the former 2018 World Cup champion will sign with the Italian club after his medical evaluation. His stint in Mexico may not have been what he had planned, but the move to Serie A may give him the chance to bounce back quickly. With the absence of Gerard Deulofeu due to a knee surgery, Thauvin will be the hopeful replacement. Even with the talent of the former Marseille player, it is difficult to secure a starting position in a top-division team in Europe. Especially considering he has been inactive for some time. Serie A will be a new adventure for Thauvin, and at 30 years old, he still has much to offer a team. We have seen numerous players fail at new clubs in a different league only to be successful elsewhere. For a player with so much talent, one can only hope to see him in top form again.
