The announcement of the departure of Igor Tudor caused an earthquake in the locker room of Olympique de Marseille. And nothing says that it will not have very undesirable second effects, in particular concerning the darling of the Velodrome, Alexis Sanchez.
OM will still have a very hot summer, and this will not only be due to global warming. The announcement of the departure of Igor Tudor may not have been the surprise of the century for Pablo Longoria, but it adds an additional file to the office of the Marseille president. Especially since in the wake of the Croatian coach, some players could be tempted to change clubs during the transfer window, or on the contrary to stay when they wanted to leave because of the very direct methods of Tudor. Among the players who liked the OM coach, there was obviously Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean striker, who we remember has not yet extended with Olympique de Marseille, had the total confidence of Igor Tudor and he returned it well. Inevitably, this departure of the Marseille coach encourages him to seriously think, the Marseille top scorer not wanting to see his future depend on the future technician recruited by Pablo Longoria. This is confirmed by L’Equipe.

A few hours before the last match of the season for Olympique de Marseille, which travels to Ajaccio, the sports daily indicates that Alexis Sanchez, author of 14 goals this season in Ligue 1, has doubts. ” Alexis Sanchez’s future is still up in the air “, specifies the sports media. In recent days, rumors have begun to circulate about a possible departure of the Chilean, while last week the agent of the 34-year-old player was spotted in the Marseille city. For the moment, nothing has been officially decided. But if OM supporters took the departure of Igor Tudor, of whom they were not fans, without saying too much, they could be different if Alexis Sanchez left just one year after signing for Marseille. Because the former Inter player packed the Velodrome. And his departure would be seen as a big drop in ambitions when OM will have to snatch their ticket for the Champions League in the middle of summer. With or without Alexis Sanchez, it won’t be the same.
