The future of Alexis Sanchez no longer seemed to go through OM. And yet, information from ESPN says the opposite this Thursday.

A year ago, Alexis Sanchez landed in Marseille. With the Chilean, the Marseille club benefited from the experience and talent of a world-class player. But at the end of his contract, mass seemed to be said between OM and their striker, and the possibility of a lease renewal seemed more and more illusory as the days went by. Until information revealed on the night of Wednesday to Thursday did not give hope to Marseille supporters.

According to ESPN, an agreement has been reached between the two parties and Alexis Sanchez is preparing to make his comeback to the team now coached by Marcelino. If we have to be very careful on the subject while waiting for further developments, the information is enough to please OM fans who witnessed the defeat of theirs against Panathinaikos on Wednesday evening, within the framework of of the third qualifying round for the Champions League.

Longoria Bluff?

There is no doubt that the contribution of Alexis Sanchez, notably associated with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, would bring what is currently lacking on the side of the Marseille attack. It therefore remains to wait to find out if Pablo Longoria, who seemed to have drawn a line under the Chilean during his last speech on Monday, will once again have hidden his game and maneuvered his boat well.
