Udinese reportedly holding squad number for Sanchez in anticipation of his return

Udinese are awaiting Alexis Sánchez and have dropped a hint: they have released the squad numbers for the next season, and his number remains available.

Alexis Sánchez edges closer to Udinese as they await finalisation with Inter Milan. In the meantime, Udinese keeps anticipating his arrival and has provided a subtle clue regarding squad numbers.

The Friuli-based club officially presented the squad numbers today for the upcoming season.

Interestingly, Sánchez’s preferred number is still unassigned, suggesting that the club is holding out hope for his return.

An Udinese club representative commented on the situation, as reported by local media: “We are ready for the possibility of Alexis joining our squad and have kept his number vacant.”

This development fuels the growing speculation surrounding Sánchez’s anticipated move back to Serie A, specifically to the club where he made a significant impact earlier in his career.
