Alexis Sanchez has officially returned to Udinese, marking the beginning of his second stint with the club. The Chilean forward, who initially joined Udinese to kickstart his European career, has signed a new contract with the Italian side. This move comes after a successful career across top leagues in Europe, including stints in Italy, Spain, and England.
Sanchez was available on a free transfer after his contract with Inter Milan expired on June 30. The 35-year-old has now committed to a one-year contract with Udinese, with an option for a second year. During his first spell with the club from 2008 to 2011, Sanchez made over 100 appearances and scored 21 goals.
Udinese’s new coach, Kosta Runjaic, expressed his enthusiasm about the signing, highlighting the quality and personality Sanchez would bring to the team. As Udinese prepare for the upcoming Serie A season, Sanchez’s experience and skill are expected to play a crucial role in the team’s performance. The official announcement confirms his return to the club where he first made his mark in European football.
