Negotiations are continuing, but the trend is now for a departure for Alexis Sanchez. In the event of the departure of its Chilean star during the summer transfer window, OM are thinking of Wissam Ben Yedder.
The Olympique de Marseille transfer window is in full swing. After winning the bet in the Geoffrey Kondogbia file, the Marseille club embarked on a search for central attackers and two side, two deficit positions within the workforce at the disposal of Marcelino. In the offensive sector, the priority is still called Alexis Sanchez, but optimism is no longer really de rigueur in this case. And for good reason, the negotiations have dragged on for several weeks, which is never an extremely good sign. In addition, some clues suggest that Alexis Sanchez will not be Marseille in 2023-2024.

For example, he returned the keys to his Marseille house, proof that the negotiations are not moving in the right direction. Pablo Longoria, however, remains hopeful of reaching an agreement with the representatives of the Chilean to extend it for one season. In its edition of the day, La Provence is already turned towards the succession of El Nino Maravilla and advances the name of a certain Wissam Ben Yedder.
Ben Yedder priority for OM if Sanchez leaves?
According to the Marseille daily, the captain of AS Monaco is indeed a target of the staff of Olympique de Marseille in the event of the departure of Alexis Sanchez during this summer transfer window. However, there is no question of recruiting the former Inter Milan striker in addition to the French international from ASM, the two players being considered to be not very complementary. It will therefore be one or the other for OM, who will quickly have to focus on a priority file between that leading to Alexis Sanchez and that of Wissam Ben Yedder.

“An extension of Sanchez is not completely ruled out” would like to remind La Provence which confirms that even if the trend is no longer optimistic, negotiations have not broken down between OM and the clan of its Chilean star. It would therefore seem that for the time being, “WBY” is only a prestigious plan B. While waiting perhaps to become the priority target of the transfer window in attack, if Alexis Sanchez were to commit to a club other than Marseille.
