Some of the records pursued by the Frenchman is top scorer in classics, leagues and the European most often champion of mark
The Tigers kept the runner-up in the Club World Cup and on their return will have different tasks, one of which will be to renew the contract of André-Pierre Gignac, Who has had several successes with the team, but still has some outstanding accounts with the Neoleon set.
The French striker is currently the highest scorer in club history, after with three goals scored in the Club World Cup, two against Ulsan Hyundai and one against Palmeiras of Brazil, he reached 147 goals.
However, he still has outstanding accounts and one of the goals of the gala will be to seek more championships with the cats, after he has won four of the League, one of the CONCACAF Champions League, which represented the first international title in the history of the club, and three of the Champion of Champions.
If Gignac, who still has a valid agreement with the team until next June, renews his contract with the UANL, Will also be able to play more regiomontanos classics against Stripes, which will allow him to go for the mark of the maximum anotador in this type of confrontations.
The record is currently held by Mario de Souza Mota “Badia”, who in his passage through Monterrey reached 11 goals in confrontations against Tigres, so that Gignac would have the opportunity to overcome-after he leads 8 and is tied with Claudio “Devil” Núñez and Walter Gaitán, former feline players.
One more of the outstanding accounts that the Frenchman has in Mexican football is to position himself as the European striker with the most brand titles, after currently having two that were in the 2016 Clausura and Obertura 2018 tournaments.
This allowed him to tie Kurt Frederich, who managed to become a couple of times the best scorer in the 1922-1923 seasons, and Isidre Lángara, who got it in the 1943-1944 campaigns and 1945-1946.
Another goal he may have in mind would be to increase his goal-scoring share in leagues to leave behind former striker Carlos Hermosillo, with whom he is tied with a total of 25. The closest Gignac in the relationship is Alberto Garcia.
Although versions have emerged 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 made it clear his intention is to continue with the felines, so he will now have to negotiate with the board for his renewal to fight for these and other goals within national football.
