Barcelona

Barcelona has been proclaiming the need to renew and rejuvenate its squad for some time, but it does not seem that it will fulfill it under the leadership of Xavi Hernandez. The first signing of the Egarense has been Dani Alves, who returned to Barcelona at 38 years old, and now it could be Alexis Sánchez (32 years old) the one that did it seven seasons after having abandoned the culé discipline. The arrival of the Chilean depends on the final approval of the coach, although his surroundings slide that it would not be a bad option considering the urgencies that the team has in the offensive phase, with Ansu Fati, Braithwaite and Memphis injured and Kun Agüero officializing his withdrawal due to a cardiac arrhythmia. Xavi Hernández is not convinced by the characteristics or performance of Luuk de Jong, which is why he intends to get rid of him and this is where the possibility of Alexis returning to the Camp Nou is forged.
According to different information there is a principle of agreement between Barcelona, Inter Milan and the footballer. The Chilean would come to the Barça team on loan in exchange for Luke de Jong. Sevilla, which has the rights of the Dutchman (he is on loan until the end of the season), would not put up any opposition, since they also do not have the forward and do not value his return. Lopetegui has in En-Nesyri and Rafa Mir his two forwards and De Jong was emerging as the third attacker before accepting the loan on the horn of the market close. Ronald Koeman, who did not sign his first options, had to settle for his compatriot, although he immediately saw that he did not have a fit in the team. However, Luuk de Jong still has poster in series A, since a forward of his characteristics fits perfectly in Italian football and Inter would see his arrival as good.
If the fringes are finally polished and all the parties, between which the Dutch footballer has to agree, reach an agreement, Alexis would return to Barcelona. After passing through Arsenal and Manchester United, the Chilean has played for Inter since 2019, but with little prominence. He has participated in 14 official games this season, but has only started two. His offensive baggage is two goals and three assists and he has missed five games due to muscular problems. The Barcelona fans keep good memories of the player, who performed at a good level in the three seasons he wore the Barça shirt. In total, they were 141 games, with 47 goals scored and 35 assists distributed. Xavi Hernández needs a striker with a goal who also moves down the wing, and Alexis would be eager to return.
