Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez is currently mulling over an offer from his former club Udinese. The 35-year-old is currently a free agent after his contract with Inter Milan expired, and now Udinese has put forward a one-year contract with the possibility of extending it for another year. Both parties are eager to reach an agreement that would see Sanchez return to the club where he began his professional career.
Sanchez originally joined Udinese back in 2008 from River Plate, and during his time at the club, he managed to contribute 21 goals and 20 assists in 112 appearances. His impressive performances caught the eye of Barcelona, where he went on to win the La Liga title in the 2012-13 season. With 46 goals in 141 appearances across all competitions in Spain, Sanchez then made a move to Arsenal, clinching two FA Cup titles under manager Arsene Wenger.
Following a challenging 18-month stint at Manchester United, Sanchez made his way to Inter Milan on a season-long loan deal in 2019, which was eventually made permanent the following year. After a loan spell at Marseille during the 2022-23 season, he returned to Inter and played a role in the team’s Serie A title triumph, scoring two goals in 23 appearances.
Internationally, Sanchez has been a key figure for Chile, scoring 51 goals in 166 appearances and becoming the country’s all-time leading goal scorer. His experience and skill have made him a valuable asset on the field, and Udinese is hoping to bring him back to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
As the negotiations between Sanchez and Udinese continue, fans are eagerly awaiting news on whether the talented forward will make a return to the club where it all began for him. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as both parties work towards a resolution that could see Sanchez back in the Udinese colors once again.
