Club career

Monaco

In the 2009 off-season, Germain signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal. He had previously played in the Monaco Championnat de France amateur (CFA) team that won the reserve team title in the 2008–09 season.[1] Despite signing professional terms, the striker spent the next two seasons playing in the club's reserve team. Germain made his professional debut on 1 May 2011 in a league match against Saint-Étienne appearing as a substitute.[2] He played in the team's final league match of the season against Lyon appearing as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat.[3] The defeat confirmed Monaco's relegation to Ligue 2.

In the second division, Germain was permanently promoted to the senior team and, on 15 August 2011, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 loss against Reims.[4] In the following month, he scored his second career goal in a 2–2 draw against Sedan.[5] In the 2012–13 campaign, Germain scored 14 goals in 35 matches for AS Monaco as they got promoted to Ligue 1. On 23 July 2013, Germain signed a contract extension with Monaco, keeping him at the club until 2017.[6] Germain was part of the AS Monaco side that won the 2016–2017 Ligue 1 title, contributing with 10 goals.[7]

Marseille

On 25 June 2017, Monaco announced that Germain had joined Marseille. He scored his first hat-trick on 28 July in the Europa League third qualifying round against Oostende in his debut match for Marseille (4–2).[9]

On 3 May 2018, he played in the Europa League semi-finals away to Red Bull Salzburg as Marseille played out a 1–2 away loss but a 3–2 aggregate win to secure a place in the 2018 Europa League Final[10] which Marseille lost against Atlético Madrid at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, near Lyon in France.
