At a time when everyone seems to want to give in to the Saudi sirens, and the millions of euros promised by the Saudi Pro League, on the side of OM we are delighted to see that Alexis Sanchez refuses to make this choice.
In exactly 72 hours, Alexis Sanchez will be a free agent. The Chilean striker’s contract with Olympique de Marseille ends on June 30 and for the moment no one knows where he will play next season. According to L’Equipe, however, we can think that the one who scored 14 goals in Ligue 1 will not go to Saudi Arabia. Even if he obviously had a very profitable offer financially, well above what he pocketed at OM (3 million euros), Alexis Sanchez is not at all tempted by a departure towards the Middle East, thinking we still have one or two good seasons to go in Europe. What necessarily trust Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta, the latter discussing every day with the representative of the 34-year-old player to find out where his thinking is. Because even if time passes, the Marseille leaders show a certain confidence and think they can quickly reach an agreement.
Alexis Sanchez likes OM, yes but

If on the side of OM we think we can convince Alexis Sanchez to stay one or two more years, it is because the Chilean player has sent positive signals. Yes, he liked playing in the Marseille jersey and even more so at the Vélodrome, a stadium of which he has become an idol. And, the departure of Igor Tudor and his replacement by Marcelino do not change the situation at all, the new Spanish coach of the Marseille club counting on Alexis Sanchez and having openly made it known. ” At OM we remain cautious, but the exchanges are progressing well “, Specifies Mélisande Gomez, even if the absence of an extension signed before June 30 can be a worrying signal. However, Olympique de Marseille easily cleared the DNCG obstacle and now several files, including that of the South American striker, could materialize from June 1.
