Former Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has made a sensational return to his former club Udinese after leaving Inter Milan as a free agent. The Chilean forward, who previously played for Udinese from 2006 to 2011, is set to bring his wealth of experience back to the Serie A side.
Alexis Sanchez’s professional career took off at Udinese, where he spent five successful years before moving to Barcelona. During his initial stint with the Italian club, Sanchez made 112 appearances and scored 21 goals. His performances caught the eye of top European clubs, leading to his transfer to Barcelona in 2011.
Alexis Sanchez joined Arsenal in the summer of 2014 from Barcelona. During his time in North London, he quickly became a fan favorite, known for his relentless work ethic, dazzling dribbles, and crucial goals. Over his four-year stint, Sanchez scored 80 goals and provided 43 assists in 166 appearances. His contributions were pivotal in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumphs in 2015 and 2017.
After leaving Arsenal in January 2018, Sanchez’s career took him to Manchester United, where he struggled to replicate his previous form. A subsequent move to Inter Milan saw him regain some of his old magic, helping the Nerazzurri win Serie A. However, his contract with Inter Milan expired at the end of the last season, making him a free agent.
Sanchez’s return is a major boost for Udinese. His experience, skill, and leadership will be invaluable for the team. The 35-year-old forward is expected to play a crucial role in guiding the younger players and helping Udinese achieve their goals for the season.
