Tigres UANL says goodbye to André-Pierre Gignac, the French striker who has been key to the team for the last 11 years. Despite the club wanting to make him a director, Gignac prefers to keep playing and has accepted an offer from Boca Juniors. The 40-year-old Frenchman has been one of the most important players for Tigres UANL, with 222 goals to his name. Gignac's departure is a blow to the team, which is already preparing for the Apertura 2026. Boca Juniors' president, Juan Román Riquelme, has offered Gignac the number 10 jersey, which was left vacant by Edinson Cavani. The termination of Cavani's contract has opened the door to Gignac, who is looking to continue growing his trophy cabinet. The possible signing of Gignac by Boca Juniors has generated a lot of interest in the transfer market during the 2026 World Cup. Tigres UANL, on the other hand, is focusing on rebuilding its offense for the next tournament. The team is already preparing for the Apertura 2026, which will start on July 16. Gignac's departure is a significant change for Tigres UANL, which is looking to maintain its level in Liga MX. The team has been one of the most consistent in recent years, and the loss of Gignac is a challenge they must overcome. The question is, what does this mean for the future of Tigres UANL? And what will happen to the team's offense without Gignac? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain, Tigres UANL will have to work hard to replace the goals and experience that Gignac brought to the team. So, the team will have to find a way to fill the void left by Gignac's departure. The Apertura 2026 is just around the corner, and Tigres UANL is ready to face the challenge.
