Alexis Sanchez no longer has a place in Marseille. OM president Pablo Longoria couldn’t be clearer on the issue.
It’s been almost two months since OM entrusted Alexis Sanchez’s representatives with a contract extension offer. With a salary increase of 25% at the key. Since then, the Chilean who seemed to have conditioned his return to Marseille to an ambitious transfer window has not given any frank news. A heavy silence that eventually tired the Marseille staff.
This Monday again, at the turn of the official presentation of Iliman Ndiaye, President Pablo Longoria was clear on the question: “On the situation of Alexis, we already discussed it last week… From a point of view digital view, apart from the right side position, we are complete. In other words, with three axial attackers in its workforce – Vitinha, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and, therefore, Iliman Ndiaye – OM consider themselves sufficiently armed at the forefront.

A few days earlier, the boss of the Olympians had already implied that the door was now closed for the 34-year-old veteran, author of 14 goals and 3 assists last season in the league. Chance or coincidence, Alexis Sanchez has not been following OM and his former Marseille teammates on Instagram for a few hours. Too bad for Marseille and Ligue 1.
