OM supporters are clinging to the hope that Alexis Sanchez will finally return to Marseille and sign a new contract. In South America, another trend is emerging for the Chilean striker.
While El Nino Maravilla is still on land and agitates social networks by listening to Charles Aznavour, the future of the striker is attracting a lot of attention, especially on the side of Marseille. Not having accepted the contract extension offered by Pablo Longoria, despite a real financial effort, Alexis Sanchez is however still in contact with the Marseille club. But he can sign where he wants and when he wants. This Monday, The Tercera, one of the most circulated dailies in Chile, says the 34-year-old will not return to OM. Alexis Sanchez would indeed be close to signing with Grêmio, the very popular Brazilian club Porto Alegre.

In recent days, the possibility of seeing Alexis Sanchez replace Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan striker of Grêmio, has been increasingly mentioned in the Brazilian media, and Rodrigo Fuentealba, journalist for the Chilean daily confirms this trend. It’s no secret that Luis Suarez could leave Grêmio to join his friend Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, and the Porto Alegre club will not oppose the departure of the former Barcelonan. This is why Alexis Sanchez is quietly waiting for things to settle down in this case. If in the end, Grêmio and Inter Miami do not reach an agreement, then the Marseille track could open up, even if Pablo Longoria cannot wait too long before recruiting an additional striker. For now, the trend leans more towards Brazil
