At 35, in the twilight of his career, Alexis Sanchez could change his outlook again in the coming days.
Returning to favor with Marseille last season, Alexis Sanchez fell back into almost anonymity when he returned to Inter last summer. As for Milan, the 35-year-old Chilean striker has only played 12 matches in all competitions in this 2023-2024 financial year, for a very average record of two goals (in the Champions League) and no assists.
Barred in particular by the Lautaro Martinez-Marcus Thuram tandem among the Nerazzurri, Alexis Sanchez will not be retained this winter by his coach Simone Inzaghi – who would also like to strengthen his squad on the offensive – and already a way out seems to be emerging for the South American veteran. If not OM, who from the point of view of his supporters would welcome him, Saudi Arabia represents the most likely base for “el nino maravilla”.
Gallardo absolutely wants it
The Chilean press reports that contact has already been made between the new Al-Ittihad coach Marcelo Gallardo and the double winner of the Copa America, for reinforcement this winter while the Jeddah club, although trailing by Karim Benzema in particular, is experiencing great difficulties this season in the Saudi elite. In the past, the former River Plate strategist had already tried to secure the services of Alexis Sanchez in Argentina. The time for collaboration has perhaps come between the two men.
