Alexis Sanchez is on the verge of making a remarkable return to Udinese, 13 years after his initial stint with the Italian club. The Chilean forward, currently a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Inter Milan, has reportedly made his decision to rejoin the Bianconeri.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that In a surprising turn of events, Sanchez personally reached out to Udinese, expressing his desire to return and help the team achieve European qualification. This gesture has created a wave of enthusiasm among the club’s management and fans alike.
The 35-year-old’s eagerness to rejoin Udinese has essentially sealed the deal, with only minor contract details left to be ironed out by his agent. The club is already planning a grand unveiling, with hopes to present Sanchez to the public on Tuesday, August 13th, during the team’s official presentation.
Sanchez’s potential return to Udinese marks a full circle in his career. The forward first rose to prominence with the club between 2008 and 2011, catching the eye of top European teams with his performances. Since then, he has had spells with Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, and most recently, Inter Milan.
During his last season with Inter, Sanchez made 33 appearances across all competitions, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists. His experience and skill set could prove invaluable to Udinese as they aim to compete for European spots in the upcoming Serie A season.
