Ex-Arsenal forward Sanchez rejoins Udinese 18 years after first spell

Former Arsenal and Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez has rejoined Udinese on a free transfer, 18 years after his initial signing.

The 35-year-old was released by Inter Milan when his contract expired in July.

Sanchez, who played for Udinese from 2006 to 2011, has signed a two-year contract.

He scored 80 goals in 166 games for Arsenal after joining from Barcelona in 2014, but only managed five goals in 45 matches after moving to United in a swap deal in 2018.

Sanchez left for Inter on loan in 2019 and made the move permanent the following year.

After his Inter contract was terminated in 2022, he spent a season at Marseille before returning to Inter to help them win the Serie A title last season.
