The Sanchez enigma. Author of a very good first season in the south-east of France at 34 (14 goals and 3 assists in 35 games), the Chilean does not hide his desire to stay in Europe and in particular in Marseille according to L’Equipe . Where he discovered an atmosphere that sticks to his character and a city that lives for his team. The club and the player seem on the same wavelength, yet time is moving on contrary to the situation, which is not a very good sign.
Real framework under Tudor which is not to displease the player who likes his role within the workforce, Sanchez is all the more important in Marseille since the recent arrival of Marcelino on the bench. Indeed the latter who wishes to deploy his 4-4-2 on the lawn of the Vélodrome will need two attackers holders, 3 or even 4 therefore in the workforce. However, only Sanchez and Vitinha are present for the moment. A departure from the former Milanese (Inter) would condemn Pablo Longoria to activate again on the transfer market in a position where OM often broke their teeth during their search.

The other stone in the Marseille shoe is the interest of Saudi Arabia, decidedly on all fronts. Fortunately for the Marseille club, the Saudi offer is not the priority of the player who seems happy in the Bouches-du-Rhône.
Although the salary that follows can be very attractive for a 34-year-old player, Sanchez still has some under the pedal and his competitive spirit seems to be taking the top of the pile.
