The winter transfer window is approaching, with an official opening on January 1 and rumors are more and more numerous, especially in Spain concerning FC Barcelona. With a Sergio Agüero who was forced to retire and a Luuk de Jong who does not convince at all, Barca must absolutely strengthen on the offensive side in January. There are many avenues that have been mentioned in recent weeks, from Edinson Cavani to Timo Werner, including Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo.
This Thursday, the local daily Sport gave the name of a new player targeted by the Blaugranas, in the person of Alexis Sánchez. Former of the Catalan house (2011-2014), the Chilean winger currently at Inter is indeed interested in FCB, and a loan was mentioned with in exchange an arrival of De Jong in Lombardy, with the agreement of Sevilla FC who has already loaned him to Barça for 2021-2022. An almost total agreement even came out in the press a few hours later … But in football, everything goes very quickly.
Barça’s priority is elsewhere
In today’s edition, Sports world returns to this new rumor and is affirmative: “Alexis Sánchez is not a priority”. The Spanish media claim that FC Barcelona first wants to get their hands on Ferran Torres, the Manchester City player. An agreement with the player has already been found, but the Blaugranas must now come to an agreement with the management of Mancun. But above all, the new coach Xavi Hernandez has already validated this track, and not the one leading to the Chilean.
MD adds that the former technician of Al-Sadd will not give his approval, or not, for Alexis Sánchez until after the arrival of Ferran Torres in Catalonia. The Inter winger is well followed by the Catalan entity, like other names, but president Joan Laporta and his leaders are focused on the Ferran Torres dossier before the rest. The Chilean will therefore have to wait a little before possibly returning to Catalonia.
