Some of the recordings that the Frenchman follows is the best scorer in the classics, leagues and the most frequently entered European champion
The Tigers remained in second place in the Club World Cup and on their return will have different tasks, one of them will be to specify the renewal of André-Pierre Gignac’s contract, who had various achievements with the team, but still has a few pending accounts with the New Leonese team.
The French striker is currently the top scorer in the club’s history, after scoring 147 goals with three goals in the Club World Cup, two against Ulsan Hyundai and one against Palmeiras in Brazil.
However, he still has accounts pending and one of the Frenchman’s goals will be to look for more cat championships, after winning four in the league, one in the CONCACAF Champions League, which was the first international title in club history, and three from the Champion of Champions.
If Gignac, who still has an agreement in force with the team until June next year, renews his contract with UANLHe will also be able to play several Monterrey classics against Rayados, which will allow him to go for the highest scoring mark in this type of confrontation.
The record is currently held by Mario de Souza Mota “Bahía”, who in his time in Monterrey scored 11 goals in matches against Tigres, so Gignac would have the opportunity to overtake him after he is 8 and is equal to Claudio ” Diablo “Núñez and Walter Gaitán, former feline players.
One of the pending accounts that the French have in Mexican football is to position themselves as the European striker with the most scores, after currently having two that were in the Clausura 2016 and Apertura 2018 tournaments.
This allowed him to tie Kurt Frederich, who managed to become the best scorer several times in the seasons 1922-1923, and Isidro Lángara, who succeeded in the 1943-1944 and 1945-1946 campaigns.
Another goal he could have in mind would be to increase his league goalscoring to leave behind former striker Carlos Hermosillo, with whom he is tied with a total of 25. Closest to Gignac in the relationship is Alberto García.
Although there have been reports that other teams such as Corinthians, Boca Juniors and FC Dallas have shown interest in the European striker during his stay with the Tigers, the player has clearly expressed his intention to continue with the cats, so now he will have to negotiate with the board its renewal to fight for these and other national football goals.
