Former Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez is reportedly on the verge of a shock return to Barcelona.

The 34-year-old Chilean forward racked up 63 goals in 154 top-flight matches for both Arsenal and Manchester United.

But after his miserable spell at Old Trafford from January 2018, Sanchez was loaned to Inter in 2019-20 before joining the Serie A giants permanently.

Two years later, he signed for Marseille and scored 14 goals in 35 Ligue 1 games last season. However, after only penning a one-year deal, he is now a free agent.

Journalist Jose Tomas Fernandez Pumarino says Sanchez’s representatives and Barca chiefs are meeting today to discuss the feasibility of the move.

The La Liga club are looking to replace Ousmane Dembele, who is joining Paris Saint-Germain.
