Brunet revealed in a recent interview for the American sports channel ESPN that the Xeneize team did intend to sign the French striker and also detailed that the jersey the French striker wore in a recent friendly match was a gift from the Argentine Juan Roman Riquelme, president of the so-called Bosteros, especially because of the admiration and friendship that exists between them to the point that they maintain constant communication.

“The fat one (Gignac) is a big fan of Riquelme, of Marseille, if I remember correctly, but he is a big fan of Roman. Roman sent him that (jersey), I think he told me, he had sent it to him because I think he talks to him from time to time and he “He sent,” Brunetta stated in the interview.

Is Boca interested in Gignac?

Brunetta was also asked if there was truly interest or if there had been a desire to bring him to their ranks, to which he responded that years ago there was a very strong possibility, but once again the great affection of the Tigres fans led him to dismiss any offer.

“He told me once that they called him, but I think it was when Boca was playing in the Libertadores Cup, but at Tigres he is the greatest idol in the club's history and it was very difficult. For him, Tigres is even bigger than Marseille. But yes, they called him, he told me,” he recalled.

It should be remembered that on that occasion rumors appeared that were quickly put to rest, and even strange characters, such as Roberto San Juan,without any certainty that any movement might occur.

Sebastian Cordova, closed issue

Regarding Sebastian Cordova, everything is closed and the midfielder has no place in the feline squad. Offers are being considered, and a loan to Pumas, Puebla, or Santos Laguna is not ruled out, but at the moment there is nothing concrete with the player who came up through the America youth system and played for Alebrijes Oaxaca, Necaxa, and now the feline squad.

Cordova was important in the feline team's championship win in the Clausura 2023 tournament, under the Uruguayan Robert Dante Siboldi, but as time went on, the former America player lost prominence, and his own personality led to a rift with his former teammate Guido Pizarro, now the coach of the university team.
