A year after his departure from Marseille, Alexis Sanchez was considered a potential reinforcement this summer for OM. It will not be anything.
Alexis Sanchez is back! But not in Marseille… A year after his departure from the Phocaean city, after much procrastination and against a backdrop of controversy and incomprehension with the management, el Nino Maravilla could return to the Vélodrome this summer, having been released from his contract with Inter.
The discussions did indeed take place with President Longoria during this off-season, and this was at the initiative of the representatives of the Chilean veteran. Only the scorer’s status as a non-EU player was a sticking point for OM from the beginning to the end of the discussions. And this despite salary claims that were, all in all, reasonable.
“El Nino is back”
It is therefore towards another fold that the double winner of the Copa America has turned, with a reunion made official this Saturday on the side of Udine. “El Nino is back” rejoices Udinese, a Serie A club whose colors Alexis Sanchez defended for three seasons, from 2008 to 2011, for a record of 21 goals in 112 outings.
At 35, the interested party remains on an average Italian season with the Nerazzurro, limited to 4 goals for 33 appearances in all competitions. The former Barça and Arsenal goal scorer had relaunched his career in Marseille in 2022-2023 by scoring 18 goals in 44 games. OM is following four offensive leads at the moment: Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal), Youssoufa Moukoko (Dortmund), Elye Wahi (Lens) and Jonathan Rowe (Norwich).
