Alexis Sanchez could be in for a shock return to one of his previous clubs this summer, the Chilean who has had stints with Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, Marseille and Inter Milan could be poised for a return to Italian Serie A Club Udinese.
Free Agent Status and Udinese Interest
Sanchez’s future is uncertain as his contract with Inter Milan expires this summer and both sides have agreed not to renew it. This allows him to leave for free if he decides to continue. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Chilean could return to Udinese, where he played from 2006 to 2011 before moving to Barcelona.
Alexis Sanchez Potential Return Conditions
Sánchez joined Udinese as a 17-year-old, first moving on from Cobreloa, and had spells with Colo-Colo and River Plate. He then became a key player for Udinese earning £30 million at Barcelona. He made 95 appearances and scored 20 goals for Udinese.
After four years with Barcelona, he joined Arsenal, where he scored 80 goals in 166 appearances. His career took a hit at Manchester United, scoring a paltry 5 goals in 50 appearance before moving to Inter and a subsequent loan to Marseille. Now, Sanchez may want to return to Udinese, who finished 15th in Serie A last season. However, he must reportedly reduce his salary requirements, currently around £80,000-a-week, to facilitate the move.
A deal will probably include a signing-on fee. While he has agreed to leave Inter at the end of his contract, a move will not be completed until after the Copa America.
