After Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos in 2021, another aging glory of world football has joined Ligue 1: Alexis Sanchez. At 34, the Chilean left Inter to join Olympique de Marseille. A bet for the Marseille club which quickly turned into a success. Admittedly, the former Nerazzurro can no longer chain matches as before, but he remains OM’s number 1 offensive weapon.
Author of 16 goals and 1 assist in 34 games in all competitions, Sanchez is the main detonator of Igor Tudor’s team. Successful despite his age, the former Gunner nevertheless cast doubt on his future in the south of France. Under contract until 2023 with an optional year, the South American took advantage of a stint on the show 24 Hoursbroadcast on the Chilean channel DTVto make his intentions known.
Sanchez feels good in Marseille
“The club trusts me and takes care of me, and when they take care of you, all you have to do is prove yourself. I would be making a mistake if I slack off. (…) I like to say what I think. I don’t keep it to myself, I’m transparent. I can’t be different, life has made me grow, mature in all areas of life. (…) I have a one-year contract in Marseille, I would like to extend it, but in football there are many possibilities. If it were to be done now (its extension, editor’s note)? Yes. I’m happy and content with them, I like the fans and they take care of me. »
Good news for Marseille supporters. Finally, once he’s done with European football, Sanchez confessed he wouldn’t say no to returning home. “My family is from La U (Universidad de Chile, editor’s note), some are from Colo Colo, but I don’t see it that way to play in Chile because coming here is a sacrifice. I wouldn’t want to come on vacation, but demonstrate and win, but I would like to do it physically, but not for long. Yes, I could play for La U, (Universidad) Catolica, Colo Colo. I like football “. It is said.
