FC Barcelona contemplates the return of Alexis Sánchez, on loan, and parting with Luuk de Jong

FC Barcelona seeks to get rid of Luuk de Jong and sign another striker. In that sense, the newspaper Sport explains that the Catalan club has already closed the details of an operation that would include the Dutch striker as a bargaining chip. Alexis Sánchez would do the reverse trip. The Chilean would end up at FC Barcelona on loan and De Jong would go to Inter Milan. Sevilla, owner of the Dutch forward, would have also given the go-ahead. The Seville club received half a million euros from FC Barcelona for the transfer of the player. Now he would balance accounts with his new destination and the player, who ends his contract in 2023, would call on another destination. However, this operation would be stopped waiting for Xavi Hernández’s permission. If the Barcelona coach gives his approval, it would be carried out. For now, the parties have closed the details awaiting the coach’s decision, he points out. Sport.

The first option of FC Barcelona continues to pass through Ferran Torres. The Manchester City player is highly desired in Barcelona, ​​although there are still economic differences with the English club. The FC Barcelona looks for other alternatives in case it could not be carried out. Alexis Sánchez’s is one of them. The Chilean is the 12th player for Simone Inzaghi at Inter. Lautaro Martínez and Edin Dzeko are the usual starters and then Ángel Correa and Alexis share minutes. The Chilean usually performs at a good level and has been asking for space. There has also been talk in recent weeks about the possibility that it is Edinson Cavani who arrives. The Uruguayan striker ends his contract with Manchester United in June 2022 and now he does not have much space in the team. (D)
