The race for Alexis Sanchez loses one of its wealthiest competitors. Como has no intention of going all-in on the Chilean, who is not in their planning objectives. The Lombard team intends to build a lasting and long-term project, with targeted and functional investments to increase the level of the squad over the years. Of course, the new ownership certainly doesn’t lack purchasing power, but the idea is not to build the team with champions at the end of the race, but rather to carefully build the future.
As for Sanchez, El Niño Maravilla has let his agent know that he does not intend to talk about the transfer market at least until the end of the Copa America which he will play with his Chile. The first match is scheduled for 22 June against Peru, the last could be July 14, in case they have to go through with it. There will therefore be no news in the short term, even if the performances of the former Udinese player with his national team could reopen market paths that are currently closed.
What is certain is that the Chilean wants to stay in Europe. River Plate and Inter Miami, who had been interested in the player, then move away. Trabzonspor remains strong on him, but he is not such an attractive prospect. So this is what Juventus fans can hope for.
Gianluca Nani, Group Technical Director of Udinese, declared in the presentation press conference: “Sanchez is a great player who has made the history of Udinese. We have not yet taken this aspect into consideration and we will try to understand how we can improve the team according to his tactical indications. It’s still a little premature and I understand that it’s right to dream positively. As for the names, we will wait a moment.” There have therefore been no concrete contacts, but it is legitimate to dream. Developments are expected, probably in July.
