Multiple threats for Sanchez, OM trembles

Will Alexis Sanchez stay at OM? The Marseille club hopes so but the Chilean player is considering leaving. He has plenty since his suitors are more and more numerous and especially more and more rich.

With Pablo Longoria as president, OM have become accustomed to a regular renewal of their workforce each summer. Nevertheless, Alexis Sanchez is not supposed to be sacked in the next transfer window. OM are still counting on their Chilean striker, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season. However, not sure if the same is true for the former Arsenal player. Indeed, the recent departure of Igor Tudor has Sanchez thinking as revealed by L’Equipe recently. It would be a real blow for Marseille, especially since Alexis Sanchez arrived free from Inter Milan last summer.

At least 4 clubs are on Sanchez

Information that makes Marseille supporters shiver and it is not going to get better. Indeed, the Spanish media Relevo released a list of clubs more than interested in the Chilean player. There are the Saudi clubs of Al Khaleej and Al Fateh, the Qatari club of Al Saad but also the Turkish club of Galatasaray. Destinations capable of giving a very good salary to the 34-year-old striker, free at the end of this first Marseille season.

Al Khaleej is much more advanced than its current competitors on this issue. But, we also risk seeing South American formations arrive in a short time. Like Luis Suarez recently at Gremio, Alexis Sanchez could get closer to his country Chile and find a football he knows better. The alert is therefore maximum in Marseille. Instead of recruiting a new scorer, OM must rather secure this reliable holder. It’s up to Pablo Longoria to work on the financial side but above all on the sporting side, a last aspect to which Alexis Sanchez is strongly attached.
