Gignac: I'd die before I signed for PSG

Former Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac says he would "rather die" than sign for Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The France international spent five years at Stade Velodrome following a move from Toulouse, winning two Coupes de la Ligue and the Trophee des Champions before his surprise move to Tigres in 2015.

Gignac has not ruled out a return to Ligue 1 before he retires but has made it abundantly clear that he would never join Unai Emery's side.

"It's just PSG that I hate. I'd rather die than sign for them," he told Life And Style magazine.

"Even if PSG offered me a salary 10 times greater, I wouldn't go. "

Gignac's disdain for PSG is such that he celebrated with gusto when they were knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona in a stunning 6-1 defeat at Camp Nou.

"You have no idea how I screamed at the sixth Barca goal in the Champions League," he said. "My wife was scared. I screamed, I ran - everything."
