Keeping Alexis Sanchez is OM’s priority, Pablo Longoria confirmed this on the sidelines of Marcelino’s presentation. So effective in front of goal, the Chilean is above all the leader of the locker room essential to Marseille’s ambitions.
The question of the titular striker is definitely the inexhaustible chestnut tree at OM. For the first time in a long time, the Phocaeans have found the right man with Alexis Sanchez. A year ago, the former Barça and Arsenal man settled in Marseille and he quickly showed that he had not lost his qualities at 34. 18 goals in 44 games for Sanchez at OM but above all constant involvement in Marseille’s attacking game. OM owe him their place on the podium as well as a more correct course than expected in the Champions League. The Olympian club would like to take advantage of their striker a little more.
OM must keep Sanchez, their season depends on it
But, the task will be complex for the Marseillais. Sanchez has reached the end of his one-year contract since July 1. OM are trying to extend it but the player is also studying the other avenues offered in the transfer window. Galatasaray was the first threat to OM but the most serious comes from Saudi Arabia. Very generous in their contracts, the Saudis would like to offer the Chilean star to one of their clubs. Pablo Longoria revealed to be in discussion with Sanchez but he remained vague on the success of the negotiations. He simply admitted that OM wanted more than anything to keep him.

Candice Rolland can only adhere to this. The journalist from the L’Equipe channel details how important Sanchez is in the Marseille team. It implies that the quality of the workforce would not be the same without him. ” This is the priority. We talk about timing, we talk about the first match in a month. In addition, what he brings, Longoria said while remaking the entire season of Alexis Sanchez. It’s beyond football, it’s also his leadership. He takes all the players with him so for me that’s the priority. In addition, behind you have to get a great striker. It’s at least 30 million, 30 or 40 million, so you don’t necessarily have it “, she indicated in the Team of Greg. OM will therefore have to be generous and very quickly for Alexis Sanchez. With the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, OM must have an operational striker by the end of July.
