At the end of the contract at Olympique de Marseille, Alexis Sanchez has received an attractive offer in Saudi Arabia. The Al-Fateh club presented him with a huge contract. But for the Chilean striker, the financial aspect clearly takes second place.

Saudi Arabia could well become the fashionable destination. After Karim Benzema, who has officially joined Al-Ittihad, other big names like N’Golo Kanté plan to follow him. It is in any case the objective of the Saudi clubs which are particularly active on the European market. For his part, Al-Fateh has set his sights on Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez wants to play Champions League

The striker at the end of the contract at Olympique de Marseille has received an offer with an annual salary of 10 million euros! It is clear that the Marseille club cannot compete financially. Fortunately for the resident of the Vélodrome, his top scorer favors the sporting aspect. In contact with the entourage of Alexis Sanchez, the media El Mercurio affirms that the Chilean does not even intend to study the proposal of Al-Fateh. The former Inter Milan player wants to continue playing in a competitive league in Europe.

Better, the Marseillais aims to compete in the Champions League next season. Good news for Olympique de Marseille even if the club will have to validate its qualification through the third preliminary round. Olympian management will also have to be wary of Galatasaray, with the Turkish champions being particularly insistent with Alexis Sanchez, Spanish source Relevo warns.

Not enough to discourage Pablo Longoria in his exchanges with the Chilean international. ” We told his agent, our intention is to continue with Alexis, but the economy is something else. When we see Saudi Arabia in recent days… We are listening, the discussions have started in a positive way. We are now in a conversation. That’s what we said. He was offered a better salary than what he had this season “Revealed the Marseille president on Monday.
