Transfer Market – OM Signs Joaquin Correa, Alexis Sanchez Settles Scores
As anticipated, Joaquin Correa (29 years old), the forward from Inter Milan, officially joins Olympique de Marseille during this summer transfer window.
On Friday, the transfer of the Argentine international was confirmed as a paid loan deal amounting to 2 million euros, along with an option to buy set at 10 million euros.
It is worth noting that this option could evolve into a mandatory purchase clause if OM secures its place in the next edition of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez has officially announced his decision to leave Olympique de Marseille, putting an end to the suspense that lasted throughout the summer.
Alexis Sanchez will not return to OM. This time, it’s clear. After weeks of uncertainty due to his contract ending, the door has been firmly closed.
« For Marseille and its team, I have nothing but gratitude towards the club’s management, its medical team, the staff, and the entire club. I’ve shared great moments with my teammates. Thank you for supporting me and sorry for putting pressure on them in every match and training session. A big thanks to all the Marseille fans who have always supported me warmly, in good times and bad. I’ve had excellent times and I cherish very good memories, » he explained on his social media.
« I would also like to clarify some points and say that I’ve always wanted to stay in Marseille. That’s what I’ve always wanted, but it doesn’t solely depend on me. It always takes two to agree. This time, the technical direction had made different choices, but I respect them, » he added.
