OM are still moving forward in uncertainty regarding some of their transfer window files. The Phocaeans are still awaiting an answer from Alexis Sanchez.
Alexis Sanchez is at the end of his contract with OM and the Chilean is dragging things out. The former FC Barcelona is not against continuing his career on the Canebière. But not at any price. Indeed, Alexis Sanchez wants to renegotiate an attractive contract but also to be certain that OM will have an ambitious transfer window this summer. The 34-year-old striker wants to win titles and has made no secret of his intentions in recent months. And if Marseille is not able to offer him what he wants, a departure is more than likely. Sanchez will have a discussion on the subject with the new coach of OM, Marcelino. But according to some, the trend remains for a contract extension.

Provence indeed recalls in recent hours that Sanchez has an option in his contract to automatically extend. The Chilean has not yet activated it because he wants guarantees on the continuation of the Marseille project. For Maks Cardena, media journalist ESPN ChileOM fans can nevertheless breathe in this file: “He will only leave the club if he receives a bigger offer. But it’s not easy to find a better club than OM where he can be so important. I think there’s a 75% chance he’ll stay.”. Besides Olympique de Marseille, Alexis Sanchez has an offer from Saudi Arabia. But that would mean giving up on a new major title in Europe. We should know more very soon on the subject, while Marcelino’s troops will resume collective training at the beginning of July.
