Atlético: two-man fight for an Inter Milan star?
Zapping of Eleven Mondial EXCLUDED: The “Little Brother” interview with Matteo Guendouzi!
Alexis Sánchez is far from indisputable at Inter Milan. Worse, the Chilean star is chomping at the bit on the substitutes’ bench at the Nerazzurri. Bared by Lautaro Martínez, Joaquín Correa and Edin Džeko on the side of Giuseppe Meazza, he could quickly leave Lombardy. The next winter transfer market could be decisive for him. Several large teams would closely follow the development of his case. This is particularly the case of Atlético Madrid, where Diego Simeone appreciates his profile. But this is also valid for FC Barcelona, which is now registered by Xavi. The former Spanish international worked with Alexis Sánchez in Catalonia between 2011 and 2014.
However, nothing has been done yet. Sánchez receives a substantial salary in Italy, and Barça cannot afford to take on big new salaries. Atlético could benefit from this. Under contract until 2023 with Inter, it is possible that the former Arsenal striker will see his contract terminated. On the sole condition of doing without the severance payments that would go with it. Hence the complexity of this thorny issue.
Sampaoli is a fan of Sanchez
Faced with competition from Barça and Atlético, Olympique de Marseille cannot fight for Alexis Sánchez. However, the Phocéens remain attentive to its situation. Jorge Sampaoli knew him when he was in charge of the Chilean team. Their relationship has been going strong ever since.
