But he is an experienced good striker that he can start performing decently in a short time when he signs for Marseille. I think this news would make him happy as well. Because he must be really regretful for coming from Barcelona but he has nothing to do about it.
Maybe as long as the transfer fee is cheap, Marseille will take it and this is also an advantage for Chelsea, at least they can increase their funds to make purchases for the next player. As for Aubameyang, of course he really misses being on the field and this is an opportunity to continue his career before finally announcing his retirement.
Let me think, what could be the reason for Sanchez' contract to not have been extended yet?
What about this?
He is another player who is on the radar of the Saudi clubs and although I don't know whether he so far refused to sign a new contract or whether it is Marseille who didn't offer him an extension, I think this sheds some light on the situation as well.
If the Saudi clubs want him, it is likely that that is the reason why he could also be hesitating.
