Florian Thauvin, the Lille striker, has been skipping training sessions for the third time in a row as he is in a standoff with the club over his desire to join Olympique de Marseille. Thauvin is risking financial penalties of 1,500 euros per day for each missed training session. The transfer window closes on September 3, and Thauvin is expected to remain absent until then, similar to Gareth Bale’s situation with Tottenham and Real Madrid.
