The 33-year-old made 39 appearances last season as Inter were pipped to the Serie A title by AC Milan .
He was greeted by hundreds of fans when he landed in Marseille on Tuesday night, with flares and fireworks upon his arrival.
Marseille officially announced the signing depicting Sanchez as a superhero in an animation.
Sanchez has previously played for Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester United and has been Chile’s star player over the last decade.
