Alexis Sánchez consolidated his name as a legend when he crowned Chile two-time champion of America. The forward is considered one of the biggest stars on the international level, although he currently does not have much prominence at Inter Milan. With Lautaro Martínez, as captain and reference of the Nerazzurro offensive and Marcus Thuram as a regular companion of the former Racing scorer, the Wonder Boy decided to close a stage with the Italian team, after becoming champion of Serie A. And on the horizon A nostalgic memory appears that could take him to River Plate.

As his contract ends in June, the Chilean attacker analyzes the possibility of returning to Millonario, where he was between 2007 and 2008. Núñez’s entity is looking for hierarchy reinforcements for the start of the Professional League and the second part of the Copa Libertadores , but the reality is that the player also received offers from Turkey and Major League Soccer (MLS).

The forward won his second Scudetto in his career and extended his league record in Europe to 3, after those he achieved with Barcelona in 2013 and with Inter in 2021. Alexis’ return to Inter after a year at Olympique de Marseille It couldn’t have been better. The one from Tocopilla has known how to reinvent himself at 35 years old and had a constant replacement role for Simone Inzahi.

Without serious injuries and with the desire to face a new Copa América with the team led by Ricardo Gareca, Alexis Sánchez analyzes the possibility of returning to La Banda, where he was champion in 2008. However, the Argentine club does not have the financial resources that Udinese, Lazio and Trabzonspor have, other institutions from the Old Continent that surveyed the footballer.

During his time at Millonario, the Wonder Boy scored 4 goals in 31 appearances, a statistic similar to the four conquests he scored during the last tournament that was in the hands of the northern Italian team.

According to the Turkish press, the forward is one step away from closing his relationship with Trabzonspor, because the efforts led by his representative Fernando Felicevich could end with the same results as Pulgar (he joined Galatasaray) and Gary Medel (signed in Besiktas). Even coach Abdullah Avci wants the Andean scorer to become the team’s top leader. The Tigers are currently in third place in the Turkish Super League, in the Europa League qualification zone.

The reality is that Sánchez’s main objective is to continue his career in Europe, but if he does not have an alternative that seduces him, he looks askance at a possible return to the Millionaire. However, the Chilean will have to give in on several points of his economic claims if he really wants to wear the River shirt again since the realities in the Old Continent and in South America are totally different when it comes to talking about contracts, salaries and awards.
