At 35, Alexis Sanchez is not yet ready to hang up his boots. On the other hand, his future is not at Inter.
It’s still green, Alexis Sanchez. Enough to fuel the rumor and give many hopes to Marseille, where his career lit up again last season. After four almost anecdotal years in the ranks of Manchester United and Inter, it was at OM that the thirty-year-old Chilean found his second wind. With a record of 18 goals in 44 matches during the 2022-2023 financial year. A convincing adventure unfortunately not repeated.
Last summer, after long weeks of indecision, “el nino maravilla” made the decision to return to Milan, among the Nerazzurri from whom he had obtained an amicable termination of contract a year earlier. And a few months later, here he is again in uncertainty, leaving 100% according to the Italian journalist specializing in the transfer window Fabrizio Romano.
“Free at the end of the season”
“ Alexis Sanchez will leave Inter free at the end of the current season, as expected, ready to attempt a new chapter next summer », wrote on his account X Fabrizio Romano, confirming the option put forward in recent weeks by the Gazzetta dello Sport regarding the future of the former Gunner and Blaugrana.
Obviously, the information has a particular resonance within the Marseille city, where the phenomenon has not been forgotten despite the troubled circumstances of its departure. The fantasy association of the double winner of the Copa America with the Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – also almost 35 years old (on June 18) – is still making more than one salivate today in Marseille. Until now, Alexis Sanchez has refused the most richly endowed sirens – Saudis in particular – it remains to be seen the priority of his ultimate challenge.
