Longoria justifies the departure of Sanchez
Longoria therefore wanted to thank the Chilean international and explained the reasons for his departure, which seem purely tactical. “I want to thank him for what he did at the club last season, he helped us a lot. As leaders, we are forced to make decisions. All decisions are made by consensus. When you make a decision, you have to think about the complementarity between the players. When we thought of all this, we wanted complementary profiles in Vitinha, Aubameyang. We wanted another versatile profile like Correa. Amine Harit can also play as a second striker. We had to think about all these aspects., he explained. Not sure that these reasons will be enough to convince Marseille supporters who want to see the ex-Barcelonian continue to ignite the Stade Vélodrome.
For his part, Alexis Sanchez rebounded by returning to theInter-Milanwhere he had already played between 2019 and 2022.
