Definitely this is a file that is accelerating over the last few hours. While he was coveted by many clubs such as Torino and LOSC, Argentinian striker Joaquín Correa (29) aroused the interest of Olympique de Marseille, as we confirmed to you earlier in the evening. If Inter Milan assumed to be a seller, the demands of the Lombard club have cooled several suitors since the Nerazzurri wanted a dry sale around 20/25 million euros.
But according to our information, the Milanese management has agreed to make some sacrifices in the advanced negotiations with OM. Indeed, an agreement is about to be found between the two clubs. The transaction should revolve around a paying loan with a purchase option set around 16 million, which would become, under certain conditions, an obligation to purchase 13 million in one year. As a reminder, the former Lazio player wants to leave Serie A and currently favors a foreign club that participates in European competition.
Alexis Sanchez will return Inter to him
The Marseille club therefore ticks all the boxes, despite being eliminated in the third preliminary round of the Champions League last week. The dossier is not completely closed either, but it is on the right track. Everything went very quickly since there are only a few details left to settle with the player, in particular the question of his emoluments and the duration of his contract. We should know more in the next few hours after the new exchanges between the different parties.
The departure of Joaquin Correa will also have implications for Inter. The Italian press reveals that the place freed up by the Argentinian will allow Alexis Sanchez to return to Lombardy where he has already spent three seasons between 2019 and 2022. Free since his departure… from OM, the Chilean has already given his agreement to come back. He was no longer waiting for the place to be available, well warmed up by the one who will be one of his successors in Marseille.
