In Marseilles there is concern. The fact that Alexis Sanchez has not yet signed the extension of his contract is worrying (and a lot) at Olympique. And it’s normal. The Chilean winger has had a season to score with his 17 goals, only two less than the top scorers from Ligue 1, Mbappé and Jonathan David.
Thus, Alexis, 34, could go free in June. Hence the enormous uneasiness that this generates in the Marseillaise club, which he does not know if the Chilean international, who has convinced since he arrived in summer from Inter Milanyou will accept the additional year stipulated in your contract.
According to ‘L’Equipe’, talks between the two parties about the activation of that additional year have not yet started. In addition, the ex-Barcelona’s latest statements about his future do not allay fears either: “I really want to stay but I want to win, I’m not here to finish fourth or third, or even second to go to the Champions League. I want to play from first place! day to be champion and win titles”.
Alexis insisted: “I’ve won my entire career, so it depends on the ambition we have, where we finish to cling to the Champions League. My future depends on all this,” he said then. Marseille is second in Ligue 1, but their participation in the Champions League is not yet assured. Compete with Lens and Monaco.
