DONE DEAL! Correa will move to Marseille, Alexis Sanchez to return at Inter

The Argentine is very close to a transfer in Ligue 1: the deal is expected to be an expensive loan with a buyout option that can become an obligation.

Joaquin Correa is very close to a transfer to Marseille. After spending 90 minutes on the bench against Monza, the Argentine has seriously considered the possibility of leaving, and the negotiations between Inter and Olympique are in the final stages.

The final green light is expected to come on Thursday. The deal has been structured as an expensive loan with an option to buy for 15 million, which can become an obligation. Correa’s departure opens the door for the return of Alexis Sanchez, who had a revival season at Marseille last year.”

Correa was also of interest to the two Sevilla teams (Sevilla and Betis), Lille, and Leipzig, but in the end, Marseille clinched the deal and convinced Tucu and his entourage.

The departure of the Argentine opens up a spot as the fourth forward at Inter for Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean, who became a free agent after his year-long experience with Marseille, has his bags packed for a return to Milan and is only waiting for the green light from the Nerazzurri to sign the contract.

Sanchez is approaching 35 years of age, but he is well-acquainted with the italian football, possesses talent, international experience, and a desire to continue playing in the Champions League.

Last year, he made 44 appearances with OM, contributing 18 goals and 3 assists, confirming that his career has not yet entered its twilight years. Inzaghi sees him as the ideal man to complete the attack and provide the goal-scoring touch that “Tucu” struggled to provide in the last two seasons.
