The Tocopillano, who is due out on June 30 after an agreement with Inter Milan, received the call from Casildense, the same coach who led him to his first title with the Chilean team: the 2015 Copa América. It is one of the options. that the player has on the table, but there are others that appeal to him the most, such as Barcelona”, says someone close to the player.
Although the passing books only open on July 1 in Europe, the clubs have already started to move the pieces to achieve the competition of their respective objectives. A player who has many suitors is the Chilean Alexis Sánchez, who will not follow Inter Milan.
In this scenario, The French team of Olympique de Marseille is one of the clubs that has been most interested in Tocopillano. Moreover, the most popular French football club has launched an offensive to convince the Wonder Boy.
The main tool to get Sánchez’s yes is through the presence of his coach, the Argentinian Jorge Sampaoli, the same who led the Chilean team and the same striker to his first international title: the Copa America in Chile 2015 .
Precisely, the Casildense man has maintained contact with the former player of Udinese to convince him to analyze the project of the team which finished second in Ligue 1, since it offered him a direct place in the group stage of the Champions League.
This is one of the main arguments to tempt the Chilean striker, who has among his personal goals to play at least another season in the main European club tournament.
obstacles
This is not the first time that the left-hander has tried to take on one of his former coaches with the Reds. In March of last year, the former Sevilla manager called Arturo Vidal directly, as El Deportivo reported at the time,
Information which was then endorsed by the The Spaniard who chairs the Marseille team, Pablo Longoria, who in an interview with a French channel acknowledged the contacts, but established that the figures were far from the Chilean salary.
Clearly, that is one of the variables that puts an obstacle between the desire for French painting and the Boy Wonder . Currently, Sánchez receives around $8 million net per season, a figure well above the French club’s salary cap. Although, surely, he terminates his contract with Inter, a club that will have to pay just over 4 million to the Tocopillano account.
With the pass in his possession, a possible negotiation appears as one of the advantages. However, one of the alternatives that keeps the player on edge is his possibility of returning to Barcelona.
“Marseille is one of the options the player has on the table, but they are others that attract him the most, such as Barcelona . After June 30, he will make a decision on his future.” ensures Deportivo are close to the player.
Apart from the culé team, Atlético de Madrid also have the striker in the pipeline. Likewise, Arsenal of England are awaiting decisions from the striker, in addition to Aston Villa, a British club who are ready to match the historic national team goalscorer’s current salary.
