OM are ruined for Alexis Sanchez, he alerts Marseille

Pablo Longoria the salary offer sent to Alexis Sanchez to convince the Chilean international to extend to OM.

Since June 30, Alexis Sanchez is no longer an Olympique de Marseille player. The Chilean international, author of a full season with 18 goals in all competitions, is free of any contract and has already received an offer from Saudi Arabia. In terms of salary, El Nino Maravilla would have every interest in joining the country in which Benzema, Kanté and many others have signed. But the former FC Barcelona striker is still hungry for titles and prestigious competitions in Europe, which leaves hope for Olympique de Marseille despite very complicated negotiations for several weeks.

Alexis Sanchez and OM are not really on the same wavelength financially, the Chilean believing that his season deserves a clear salary increase. Pablo Longoria listened to his player and his representatives and ended up drawing an XXL proposal with a 25% revaluation compared to the emoluments received by Alexis Sanchez in 2022-2023, all accompanied by a juicy signing bonus. Will this be enough to keep OM’s No. 70? On the antenna of the L’Equipe Channel, Bertrand Latour spoke on this subject and for the journalist, it would be totally unreasonable for Pablo Longoria to rise higher financially.

Bertrand Latour warns OM in the Sanchez case

“Should OM keep Alexis Sanchez at all costs? It all depends on how far you go in ‘at all costs’. Not all clubs are above ground like PSG, OM will not go up to 800,000, 900,000 euros or 1 million euros per month for Alexis Sanchez and then end up in bankruptcy. Of course OM must try to keep the Chilean but not at all costs. There’s an economy, there are other players to pay, you can’t mess up your payroll salary that much. I would love for Sanchez to stay in Marseille but for a player in his late thirties, if you have to give 700,000 euros a month, it’s too high. I’m afraid it will end badly.” believes Bertrand Latour, for whom Olympique de Marseille must not give in to madness and disrupt its payroll despite the undeniable talent of Alexis Sanchez, whose loss would be highly detrimental to the Marseille club.
