Rumours about the future of Alexis Sanchez continue to be the subject of intense speculation. After being announced by La Gazzetta dello Sport as being about to sign with the Fenerbahçe, the Chilean footballer, former attacker of the Olympique de Marseille, seems ready to take up a new challenge. This potential signature comes after a difficult season marked by injuries with Udinese, and is part of the search for a new project for the 36-year-old player. The Turkish club would have offered Sanchez an annual contract of 4 million euros, with an automatic extension option depending on its performance.

The contract proposed by the Fenerbahçe includes specific conditions for activation of the extension option. The latter would be automatically lifted if Sanchez participated directly or indirectly in 15 goals, or if he played at least 70% of the minutes of the season. A particularly notable clause of this possible signature is the provision of a private jet to allow Sanchez to monitor its vineyards located in Frioul, a wine region in north-eastern Italy where it owns land. This particular attention reflects the interest of the Stambouliote club in recruiting an experienced and charismatic player.

This potential arrival of Alexis Sanchez at Fenerbahçe is part of the club’s ambitious strategy, led by José Mourinho, to build a leading workforce. After a remarkable move to OM in the 2022-2023 season, where he was one of the team’s leaders and scored 14 goals all over the competition, Sanchez could return to a European exhibition while enjoying a tailor-made framework for the end of his career. This opportunity therefore represents a major challenge for the player and a potential asset for the Turkish club.
