The Chilean striker offered to return to Barcelona, according to the prestigious media outlet Sport. The Tocopillano has a chance to return, although he would not be the first option.
He’s dying to go back to Barcelona. The Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez I would be focused on returning to the Camp Nou in July.
This is how the Catalan newspaper reveals it Sportin a note where he mentions the ‘Niño Maravilla’ as one of the two footballers who “offered” to sign with the culé teamawaiting a possible departure from winger Ousmane Dembelé.
The other? The Argentine and Rosario, Angel Di Maria.
Specifically, Sport emphasizes that “the Argentine had serious options to sign a few years ago and the Chilean has already sounded out his return to the Camp Nou in January although the conditions were not met.
“Barça have talked regarding many options and they are clear that both Di María as Alexis would come with their eyes closedwith the letter of freedom and in very, very favorable economic conditions, ”adds the publication.
Barcelona’s response and Alexis Sánchez’s reaction
Despite the offer of the tocopillano, since his return generates interest in the Hispanic club, the truth is that Alexis is not the first option to occupy the place in front of an imminent departure of Dembelé.
“There is no doubt that these are two footballers who have performed well for their teams and who, at their age, can still have a couple of good years of football. But they are not the first options, much less, although in July it will be seen, ”remarks Sport.
The Chilean already knew the answer. In fact, for the Catalan coach Xavi Hernández the great candidate is the Brazilian Raphinhadel Leeds United.
“Xavi wants youth, self-confidence and quality. The chosen one is none other than Raphinha, from Leeds, and they will do everything possible to carry out the operation even though the conditions are tough and the English team is showing inflexibility in their departure, ”explains the media.
Thus, the scenario for a return of Sánchez to Barcelona is complicated -but not impossible-. That is why the man trained in Cobreloa began conversations with Seville, although he remains attentive to a possible ’emergency call’ from the culé store.
“Alexis is talking to Sevilla because Monchi considers him an estimable piece for his Sevilla. For now, he hasn’t signed anything either and is also looking askance at Barcelona”, closes the Hispanic newspaper.
