In a statement, Olympique Marseille have confirmed reports that they signed Alexis Sanchez on a free-transfer after the Chilean mutually terminated his contract at Inter Milan. The 33-year-old has spent three years at the San Siro, making 108 appearances for the Nerazzurri in the process.

Following his struggles at Manchester United, not a lot was expected from Alexis Sanchez when he arrived at Inter Milan on loan in the summer of 2019. However, the Chilean did well in his debut season at the San Siro, contributing to 13 goals in the league as Inter Milan just missed out on lifting the Serie A title. That saw the Nerazzurri reach an agreement with Manchester United and they signed Sanchez on a free-transfer.
