Free since leaving Olympique de Marseille on June 30, 2023, Alexis Sanchez has plenty of time to find a new club. If the Marseille fans are still hoping for a return of the Chilean, a last major challenge could quickly sign him.
As Pablo Longoria recalled during Marcelino’s presentation press conference, Alexis Sanchez ended his contract on June 30 and is therefore no longer an OM player. In just one season in Marseille, the Chilean has become the darling of the Vélodrome. Author of 18 goals last season including 14 in Ligue 1, the former striker of Arsenal or Inter, to name only these clubs, is now very courted in particular by Saudi Arabia. If the Middle Eastern country is the most likely destination for the Chilean international (155 caps), the player of almost 35 years old has proven to himself that he still has the level to evolve in a European club. . And, during an interview with ESPN, Mauricio Pinilla spoke about the future of his teammate in selection, without filter.

“He longs for something more. I know from reliable sources that he may be considering a significant leap. He would certainly like to finish his last years in competition at the highest level, especially in the Champions League. said the 39-year-old striker, longtime friend of Alexis Sanchez, with whom he won the Copa America twice. The native of Tocopilla could therefore be tempted by a last sporting challenge on the Old Continent. The idea of competing in the Champions League germinates in the head of the striker who has never won the premier competition despite stints in big teams. Alexis Sanchez has a good rating on the transfer market and may prove to be an interesting choice, especially after his good season at OM. The only thing missing is Germany to complete the loop of the five major championships for Sanchez. What if that was the secret?
