OM will have a lot of projects to settle this summer during the transfer market. The Marseille club hopes in particular to keep Alexis Sanchez.
In Marseille, we hope that certain cases will quickly find a way out. This is the case for the future coach of OM, when Igor Tudor slammed the door. Pablo Longoria and his team are working internally to find the best possible profile to take up the torch and try to qualify OM for the next Champions League. Then, the Phocaeans will have to take care of the recruits but also manage the possible departures. Some players do not yet know what their future will hold, especially for those at the end of the contract. Alexis Sanchez, author of a very good season in Marseille with 18 goals scored in 44 games played in all competitions, is one of them. Already, he knows that OM absolutely wants to keep him.

Present at a press conference on Monday, Pablo Longoria indeed recalled that OM’s plan was to keep the Chilean for another year at a minimum: “We want to keep him because he has brought us a lot. He was a leader in every way. We talk to his agent. We are offering him a better contract than the one he had this season.”. It remains to be seen whether the former Barça player will accept the proposal, as he recently recalled his desire to win titles and does not understand the mentality of OM on this subject. Alexis Sanchez’s name is also circulating on the Premier League side where Arsenal are said to be very interested in snapping him up. The identity of the future coach of Olympique de Marseille will be important in the final choice of Alexis Sanchez, who will not be too many to play in the Champions League play-offs next August.
