According to ‘El Chiringuito’, the agent of Manchester United’s seemingly wantaway striker has offered his client to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid remain on the lookout for a striker and, according to a report in the Spanish media, Manchester United’s Alexis Sánchez has emerged as a potential signing.
Alexis “lonely, bored and ignored” at Manchester United
With Alexis said to be keen to leave Old Trafford, the Spanish television show ‘El Chiringuito’ has claimed that the Chilean’s agent, Fernando Felicevich, has offered his client to the European champions as he bids to find him a new club.
The 29-year-old ex-Barcelona star was recently reported by the newspaper The Times to feel “lonely, bored and ignored” at United – and to be after a departure from the Premier League club as soon as January, just a year after joining the Red Devils.
Real Madrid may struggle to prise Icardi from Inter
Madrid are firm admirers of Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi, who has 10 goals in 13 games this season, but with the Nerazzurri highly unlikely to countenance the Argentine’s sale in the mid-season window, Los Blancos may well seek out a more viable option.
Alexis scored memorable Clásico chip against Madrid
Alexis, who has scored just once for United this term, earns an annual 23 million euros as part of the four-and-a-half-year deal he signed on his arrival from Arsenal, where he enjoyed a successful three-and-a-half season spell after joining from Barça in 2014.
He made 141 appearances in his time in Catalonia, scoring 47 goals – of which his most memorable came against Madrid: a superb chip that helped secure a 2-1 Clásico win in late 2013. Now, says ‘El Chiringuito’, he is plotting a return to LaLiga to play for the Blaugrana’s arch rivals.
