Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez deal being hijacked by Manchester City – La Liga news
Barcelona’s pursuit of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 is not a well-kept secret, far from it in fact as the entire footballing world is well aware of the Catalans’ interest. Los Cules are desperately trying to land the starlet for the 2011/12 season. However, reports suggest
that their chances of acquiring the Chilean international have been dented badly since Manchester City have lodged a lucrative £35.8 million bid for the prolific striker.
For his part, Sanchez desires to complete a dream transfer to Camp Nou. However, his chances of joining the ‘best club in the world’ have decreased significantly since the Zebrette have received a big money offer from the cash-rich Manchester City.
Having helped Udinese secure a UEFA Champions League berth by netting a blistering 12 goals in the now-concluded season, Sanchez has attracted interest from some of the most elite clubs across Europe. The Chilean striker has been tracked by the likes of
Manchester City, Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the Italian outfit have started to test their persuasive http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 on Sanchez, as they want him to fly to Eastlands rather than opting for Camp Nou as his future destination. Sanchez’s future destination remains unclear, however,
Manchester City have thrown a spanner into Barcelona’s transfer works for sure.
Barcelona Vice-President, Josep Maria Bartomeu, claimed last week that transfer talks with Udinese have started over a possible move of the Chilean striker to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011. He had said, “We are optimistic, but this has just begun. We are negotiating for Sanchez.
We know he is a valuable player; that is why there are so many teams after him. We have to continue talking and we will see what is going to happen in the next few days. We will first have to come to an agreement with Udinese.”
Being aware of the fact that they cannot spend heavily in this transfer season, being allocated 45 million Euros for transfers, a cash-plus-player deal is the only option left that Barcelona can use to land their man.
