Udinese striker Alexis Sanchez dreaming of Barcelona switch – La Liga news
In-demand Udinese striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979, has claimed that he dreams of joining Barcelona and should he join the Catalan giants this summer, it would give him a grand opportunity to turn his dreams in to reality.
The phenomenal talent has been strongly linked with a move away from Stadio Friuli, with reports suggesting that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are leading the race to land his signature ahead of the upcoming season. The Catalan giants are willing to pay as much as £35 million
for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 International.
Despite the Catalan giants being the leading contenders to sign the much-coveted attacker, English Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City, are also in pursuit to acquire his services for the 2011/12 season.
Reports indicate that this transfer tug-of-war over Sanchez’s signature is only between the Spanish giants and cash-rich Manchester City. In an attempt to counter Barcelona’s offer, the Citizens have lodged a better bid of £32 million plus £4.5 million in
bonuses.
However, it is highly likely that this two-way fight between two top European clubs will be won by Barca after Sanchez revealed that he does not intent to play for the premier league club.
“Either it's Barcelona or I will stay [at Udinese]. I dream of playing for Barcelona, because I have the chance to win a lot of trophies there. My biggest objective is to win a lot of silverware.” The Chilean international said.
Sanchez also explained his playing philosophy, saying, “My biggest secret is perhaps my humility. I am not afraid of any defender. When they're trying to hit me, I just tell them to play football or go boxing. I am still a young player, but I have the ambition
to become the best player in the world.”
It is being reported that 22-year-old striker wants to part ways with his current club despite having a contract that runs until 2014. On the other side, Udinese want to cling-on on to their striker, whose breathtaking performances guided the club to a place
in the upcoming Champions League. The Chilean striker scored an impressive 12 goals to go along with 12 assists in a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Total-c40747 of 36 appearances for Udinese in the Serie A season ended.
