Udinese attacker Alexis Sanchez has a host of Europe’s top teams chasing his signature.
The likes of Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, Inter and Juventus are all interested in signing the Chilean.
Talented
The 22 year-old attacker is immensely talented and has already proved in Serie A that he would a good addition to any squad.
However the teams chasing him are some Europe‘s top teams, that’s just how good he is.
Choice
Udinese transfer consultant Stefano Antonelli has told Sky Italia: “ There are five clubs who are doing everything to get hold of him: Barcelona, Manchester City, United and two Italian clubs,”
“The offers have all come from these clubs. We don’t want to create a bidding war, but he is the big name on the transfer market at the moment and everyone wants him. Over the next few days we should learn where Sanchez will go. We wanted to keep hold of the player, but when there is an important offer, it should be evaluated fully.”
Versatile
The Chile international has many attributes but one of his best is his versatility. He can play on either wing, as a second striker or a striker. His versatility will be a real asset to whichever club is lucky enough to sign him.
Favourites
It seems that European Champions Barcelona are currently favourites to sign the Udinese star. He would definitely be a quality addition to the already talented Barca squad. The question is if he did sign for Barca would he get regular first team football and if so who would he replace in the star-studded Barcelona team?
Manchester
If he moved to Manchester City or Manchester United he would be more likely to get regular first team football. Manchester City are likely to spend big this summer as usual and Sanchez wouldn‘t be out of their price range.
United will also be looking to strengthen their squad for the defence of their Premier League crown. Sanchez would provide a creative spark to a Manchester United midfield which will be lacking the craft of Paul Scholes next season.
Italy
Inter will be looking to strengthen their squad after having a poor season. They finished second to bitter-rivals AC Milan in Serie A and went out of the Champions League in humiliating fashion to German side Schalke.
Another team in Italy who are interested in Sanchez is Juventus. The Old Lady also suffered a disappointing season. However the club are due to move into their new stadium for next season and want a team to match their new surroundings.
Udinese
It now seems inevitable that the Chilean will leave Udinese despite helping the club to fourth in Serie A and a Champions League qualification berth. Udinese won’t want to lose their star player but they will be able to strengthen their squad with the fee they receive from the sale of the youngster.
The Bianconeri are likely to receive in the region of £35million for their want away star. That money will help the club sign players ahead of their Champions League qualifier.
Alexis Sanchez’s move away from Udinese could be one of the biggest of the summer. He is definitely a quality player and wherever he ends up I’m sure he will be a big success.
