Alexis Sanchez, in discussions with OM for a contract extension, has declined an offer to join Gerard Pique’s Kings League.
Negotiations are continuing in Marseille over the extension of Alexis Sanchez. At the end of the contract, the Chilean international is Pablo Longoria’s top priority. The president of Olympique de Marseille is ready to raise the former star of FC Barcelona’s salary in order to keep El Nino Maravilla in his squad for one more season. Alexis Sanchez currently receives 6 million euros gross per year at OM, a salary lower than that offered to him by Saudi Arabia since the Saudis drew an offer of 10 million euros on Tuesday to attract Alexis Sanchez.

For now, the Chilean has not accepted this offer. He still has ambitions with the Chilean selection, which can work in favor of Marseille in this case. Pablo Longoria has in any case learned through the boss of the Porcinos FC team that Sanchez had refused an offer from Gérard Pique to join the Kings League organized by the former Barcelona defender. As a reminder, this is a competition in a “leisure” format of 7 against 7 football. A very lucrative playground but which does not interest Alexis Sanchez for the moment.
Alexis Sanchez refuses to join the Kings League
“The Alexis Sanchez option was rejected. They told me he is still in career. He is interested in the idea, but he has commitments with the Chilean selection and it is impossible while he is still active. Alexis made me understand that once his sports career is over, it is very likely that this could happen. Alexis Sanchez is a player I know well and he still has several years left in his career. said the boss of this Kings League team. A first competitor dismissed for Olympique de Marseille, who will now cross their fingers so that their Chilean star favors the sports project of a top club in Ligue 1 and qualified for the Champions League in favor of the financial project offered by Saudi Arabia.
