Spanish giants, Barcelona FC, are confident that they will be able to win the race to lure the Udinese Calcio sensation, Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean is among the hottest players on the summer transfer market this year owing much to his great performances
for the Friuli outfit in the Italian top flight.
According to the Chilean news agency, La Tercera, the Barca Vice-President, Josep Maria Bartomeu, has claimed to be the front-runners in the race for Sanchez’s acquisition and the official was optimistic of the future.
“We are in talks for Sanchez. We know he is a player of value and for that reason there are a lot of clubs chasing him. We’ll have to continue talking and see what happens in the next few days. We are optimistic even if we are still only at the beginning.
I can’t reveal the details of the negotiations or talk about the other clubs who want him, but we are aware that we must firstly reach an agreement with Udinese and then the player.” Maria Bartomeu has been quoted as saying.
Stakes are high as the main contenders for the player are the Italian giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Juventus FC. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Manchester City are also competing in the bidding war as all outfits are keen to lure the 22-year-old winger.
According to Udinese consultant, Stefano Antonelli, Sanchez is the biggest name in the summer transfer market at the moment and all the clubs are willing to do everything to acquire his signature. While talking to Sky Sport Italia, Antonelli said:
“All the clubs we talked about have a chance of signing him, but right now my feeling is that he’s more likely to go abroad. Barcelona’s very powerful push on to the scene has changed the scenario somewhat.”
Manchester United have taken serious steps to land the Chilean sensation and reports from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 suggest that the Red Devils have placed a 30 million Euros bid on the table for the Udinese attacker. However, Barca are not willing to bow out of the bidding
war – it’s anyone’s race at the moment.
