“OM Mercato: Could Arkadiusz Milik Replace Alexis Sanchez for Marseille?”

In case of departure fromAlexis Sanchez at the end of the season, the management of OM would have already checked a rather surprising name to replace him.

OM Mercato: Alexis Sanchez is getting closer to leaving Marseille

He is undoubtedly the most prolific player at Olympique de Marseille this season. Arrived for free at OM last summer after leaving Inter Milan, Alexis Sanchez is having a convincing season in the Marseille jersey. In 38 games played, the Chilean international has scored 16 goals and 2 assists in all competitions.

An honorable record for a player whose age is advanced (34 years). The management of OM therefore does not plan to lose such an offensive asset and has taken concrete steps with a view to extending his contract which expires next June. Except that the principal concerned does not necessarily hear it that way.

Despite recent statements, Alexis Sanchez has so far shown no eagerness to extend his lease at OM. Despite negotiations with the management of Marseille, the former Barcelonan gives himself time to reflect. He first hopes for OM to qualify for the next Champions League before deciding on his future.

Alexis Sanchez, his future destination revealed

This vagueness skillfully maintained by Alexis Sanchez lets fear the worst. Because generally, a player who wishes to extend with his club, does not wait until the end of the season to do so. El Nino Maravilla thus seems inclined to leave OM this summer. But if he were to leave where would he go? The Chilean already has a very specific destination in mind.

The journalist from RMC SportJonatan MacHardy, is indeed convinced that the 34-year-old wants to end his career at River Plate, his former club. It’s a dream he’s had for a long time and which could come true this summer. “The only club that counts for Alexis Sanchez and in which he will end his career is River Plate. He’s already said it, it’s done, he’ll end up there and it’s the only club for which he can say he loves the city, the fans and the stadium.”he said.

Arkadiusz Milik soon to return to OM?

Faced with the threat of a departure from Alexis Sanchez, the management of OM does not sit idly by. She is already looking for an ideal replacement for him for next season. If the names of Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace), Folarin Balogun (Stade de Reims) or even Marcus Thuram (Borussia M’Gladbach) are mentioned in the press, the Marseille leaders could finally fall back on a completely unexpected track.

Journalist Jonatan MacHardy believes that the departure of the Chilean striker would logically favor the return ofArkadiusz Milik in Marseille. “If he leaves, I remind you that under contract there is a guy called Milik”, announced the sports consultant. As a reminder, the Polish centre-forward is currently on loan to Juventus from OM. The Turin leaders would like to keep him beyond his loan.

Faced with difficulties, the Bianconeri have already started discussions with their Marseille counterparts with a view to lowering his purchase option estimated at 9 million euros. Except that Pablo Longoria is inflexible on the subject. The Old Lady will have to pay the sum agreed by OM if she wishes to recruit Arkadiusz Milik definitively. Otherwise, the former Napoli striker will return to Marseille. This comeback should please the public at the Vélodrome and could fill the probable of Alexis Sanchez. However, nothing has yet been decided on this double file.
