Gameiro Returns To Strasbourg After 13-Years
Written By Omolagba Oluwayemi
Thirteen years after leaving RC Strasbourg as a youth academy player, Kevin Gameiro has returned to the club.
Gameiro made his first appearance for RC Strasbourg before exploding at FC Lorient between 2008 and 2011. He then moved to PSG, with whom he won a French league title. Gameiro then moved to Sevilla (2013-2016), Atlético de Madrid (2016-2018) and then to Valencia.
The 34-year-old was released by Los Che as part of the move to allow him to rejoin the Ligue 1 club on a free transfer, and sign a two year contract at Stade de la Meinau.
Gameiro had struggled to make a consistent impact at the Estadio Mestalla following his €16m move from Atletico Madrid ahead of the 2018/29 La Liga season.
After netting 19 goals across two seasons in Madrid he managed just 16 goals from three years in an injury disrupted stint in Valencia.
However, despite his low key end to life in Spain, his time with Sevilla from 2013 to 2016 will go down as the most successful spell in his domestic career.
He won three consecutive Europa League titles in Andalucia as part of Unai Emery‘s dominant side before going on to win a fourth title at Atletico in 2018.
He scored three times in his thirteen appearances for France.
