Alexis Sanchez having not extended his contract at OM, the Marseille leaders are looking for a great striker to replace the Chilean international. The shadow of Arkadiusz Milik returns to the halls of the Vélodrome.
Pablo Longoria had signed a stroke of genius by negotiating last summer the arrival of Alexis Sanchez, left free by Inter. OM and the Chilean star had agreed to a one-year contract with no option for an extension, Marseille not wanting to commit very long to a very well paid player who was coming out of a complicated season, while ‘El Nino Maravilla wanted him to know more about the competitiveness of his new club. Unfortunately, if Olympique de Marseille quickly understood that it was necessary to negotiate a contract extension, Alexis Sanchez did not accept. In other words, one month to the day before Marcelino’s team enters the Champions League play-offs, OM are still looking for a top scorer. If the Alexis Sanchez file is not closed, the rumors are not good. And, some wonder if Pablo Longoria was wrong in pushing Arkadiusz Milik to Juventus a little too quickly.

On loan with the option to buy from Juventus last year, the Polish international striker was definitively transferred to the Italian club for 6.3 million euros. What give enormous regrets to Jonatan MacHardy. ” Still, I regret Arkadiusz Milik that OM sold for a pittance, frankly 6 million euros for such a striker. I have a huge regret, he would have been perfect in a two-man attack. With Marcelino playing with two forwards, Milik would have been a godsend and I think he would have wreaked havoc. There is urgency “, remarked the After Foot consultant on RMC. Impossible to rewrite history for Olympique de Marseille where the supporters are counting on a new magic trick from Pablo Longoria.
