  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    On transfer deadline day, Sevilla announced the arrival of veteran forward Sanchez from Udinese as the 36-year-old Chile international signed a one-year contract. Sanchez returned to Udinese last summer on a two-year deal, but his stay at the Italian side lasted just one season.

  • WHAT SEVILLA SAID

    Sevilla released an official statement confirming Sanchez's arrival, which read: "Sevilla FC and Udinese Calcio have reached an agreement for the signing of Chilean striker Alexis Sánchez to the Sevilla club for one season. With a career that few can match and having played for many of the biggest clubs in the world of football, Alexis arrives at Nervión to bring his experience and goal-scoring instincts. His trophy cabinet includes, among other trophies: a Spanish league title, a Copa del Rey title, two FA Cups, two Serie A titles, two Italian Cups, a European Super Cup, a Club World Cup, and two Copa América titles with Chile , with which he has accumulated 168 senior caps."
