Alexis Sanchez Next Club Odds - 28/05/20

After going from one of the best attackers in the world to a somewhat forgotten figure over the past five years, Alexis Sánchez may be on the move to another club for the sake of his own career.

The 31-year-old has spent this past season at Inter Milan, on loan from Manchester United, and he has failed to impress throughout, with injuries a becoming a big issue.

The former Barcelona forward isn’t worth what he used to be when he was one of the most sought after players around, after exceptional seasons in Spain and in England with Arsenal, but a fresh start could see him rediscover his elite form.

Using the latest odds from Paddy Power, here are the latest odds for Sánchez’s next club.

Perhaps a surprise favourite to land the La Liga and FA Cup winner is West Ham United.

The Hammers could be after a new option up top to get the best out of record signing Sebastien Haller. The French striker was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer for a fee in the region of £36m, but has only managed seven Premier League goals in 27 appearances. The addition of Sánchez, who can be used on the wing or centrally, could be the injection of creativity that gets the 25-year-old scoring regularly.

David Moyes’ side have had a dire season, currently sitting in 16th place, with their slight goal difference advantage keeping them out of the bottom three as they find themselves in a relegation scrap.

The signing of Alexis Sánchez could reinvigorate their form, with the capture of the man that has proven himself before in the Premier League and boasts 63 goals and 33 assists in 154 Premier League appearances. And, at the same time, perhaps this is the level the Chilean is at now after two tough years.

Sánchez is a decent 10/3 to return to London and start afresh in the Premier League with West Ham.

Speaking about returns to London, Sánchez is the fairly low price of 6/1 to return to north London, but to the white side and not the red.

Spurs have had their own issues up front with the reliance on just Harry Kane as a recognised centre forward up top, which has been a problem when the star man has been injured.

Whilst Sánchez can play just about anywhere in the attacking lineup, he did enjoy a fantastic spell at Arsenal in the centre and could be an asset for their north London rivals now. The ex-Barcelona man could also provide a worthy backup to the likes of Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min.

Jose Mourinho signed the Chilean when in charge at United - could the Portuguese manager sign the attacker again at Spurs? He might be tempted to on the cheap.

If Germany is to be the winger’s next destination, Borussia Dortmund are the favourites to secure his services.

The Black and Yellows could do with more cover on the attacking wings following the injuries to Marco Reus, and even more so if Jadon Sancho is to move away from the Signal Iduna Park. The heavily rumoured departure of the Englishmen could be the key factor influencing the signing of Sánchez for Dortmund, especially as his parent club United are the favourites to land the young winger Sancho.

Any potential deal that sees the former Watford man join the Red Devils could involve Sánchez going the other way as part of the exchange, or even being looked at as a replacement for Dortmund- he is now 11/1 to join Borussia Dortmund in the next transfer window.

Dortmund’s title rivals and the reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich could also be in the running to sign the former Barcelona man. They have been looking at other wingers such as Manchester City’s Leroy Sane, and if no deal could be made there, other options may have to be assessed by the Bavarians when looking at potential extra firepower on the wings. Being the biggest club in Germany, Bayern should be able to afford the extortionate wages the former Sánchez earns at United anyway, but the likelihood is they will be cut when he moves next regardless. He is now the high price of 14/1 to join Bayern Munich when the window opens.

Bayer Leverkusen could be a surprise contender to land the Copa America winner as they look to improve and establish themselves as a top four Champions League outfit. As a matter of fact, Sánchez is already familiar with finding the nets in the Bay Arena, where he scored his first two Champions League goals when playing for Barcelona in late 2013.

Just like their other German adversaries, Leverkusen could be looking at replacement in attack come the summer, with a number of their star players such as Kai Havertz and Leon Bailey being linked with moves away. Odds are 18/1 for Bayer Leverkusen to be Sánchez’s next club.

Sanchez's last tenure in Spain saw him become a recognised talent, and a return to La Liga could be awaiting as he looks to return to top form. Sevilla and Valencia are both 22/1 to land the 31-year-old.

Both sides could look to bolster their attacking options with the capture of Sánchez, who has 39 goals and 27 assists in 88 La Liga appearances as well as a 2013 league winners medal to boast from his time in Spain’s top tier.

Sevilla will be looking at cementing themselves as a top four side, as they currently sit third behind the two giants of Spanish football, whereas Valencia will be looking at pushing to get into a European spot and above the seventh-placed position they are in now.

The acquisition of Sánchez could turn out to be a coup for either of the two, as they would be getting a player that has proven he can perform in La Liga and giving Alexis Sánchez the chance to get his career back on track after forgettable past two years.
