At the end of his contract with OM in a few days, Alexis Sanchez has still not extended his contract and the Chilean striker is heading for a departure. The Chilean is interested in a European club.
Author of a very good season with Marseille, Alexis Sanchez proved that he still had the level to evolve in a sportingly ambitious club. The former Arsenal player has scored 18 goals this season, including 14 in Ligue 1, and the Chilean has therefore largely contributed to Marseille’s third place in the league. But the 34-year-old striker’s contract expires on June 30 and if OM want to keep him, Pablo Longoria has not yet managed to reach an agreement with the double winner of the Copa America. Saudi Arabia, which is trying to attract many stars, is interested in snatching the services of Sanchez and for this, a big salary offer has been sent to its agents. However, a European club is also very tempted by the performance of the Chilean international (155 caps).

According to information from Fotomac, Galatasaray has set its sights on Alexis Sanchez. The Turkish club has met with representatives of the former Barcelona player and an agreement could soon be reached. Turkish champion at the end of this 2022/2023 exercise for the 23rd time in its history, Galatasaray has a substantial budget to convince Alexis Sanchez to join Dries Mertens or Juan Mata in Istanbul. Even if OM want to keep the native of Tocopilla, there is little chance that Sanchez will extend his adventure in the Marseille club, which would be a blow for the Marseillais from the start of this summer transfer window. Alexis Sanchez, if he joins Galatasaray, will be able to continue to demonstrate the extent of his talent in a club which is playing the leading roles in its championship and which acts as an outsider in the Champions League. Alexis Sanchez’s European career is therefore probably not over yet, but that in Ligue 1 may be.
