Marseille, city in south France
Chairman Pablo Longoria said in a press conference that despite great respect for Alexis
Sanchez (name)
, but the club will not sign back the Chilean veteran. Sanchez, 35, is currently a free agent after his contract with Inter Milan expired at the end of June. It was previously rumored that Marseille were considering signing back Sanchez, who played for the team in the 2022-23 season.
President Longoria categorically denied the rumors during the presentation: "First of all, I want to express my respect for everything he has ever done for the club and for the values he has brought to the team. But we have to think about a development strategy, and the strategy to form the team will be more global. In Ligue 1 we only have four non-EU places and with Greenwood's arrival we have already used three. Therefore, we must evaluate the club's next move in the best possible way."
Currently, Udinese and Lille are also interested in Sanchez. With Marseille out of the picture, both clubs are expected to sign the experienced striker on a waiver. Sanchez has played for a number of top clubs in his career and possesses a wealth of playing experience and excellent technical ability. His signing would undoubtedly bring a significant boost to the offense for his new owners.
Sanchez's future destination continues to be the center of attention for fans and media alike, with the expectation that he will continue to showcase his talent and experience at his new club.
