After weeks of waiting and wondering, we have finally found out where Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez will play in the 2011-2012 season. Today, Barcelona beat out other suiters Manchester United and Manchester City to sign the prodigal Udinese winger for 26 million pounds. While Sanchez will not start over Lionel Messi, David Villa or Pedro Rodriguez, this is great news for Barcelona, as they have a world class forward option to back up their big offensive 3. With Sanchez waiting in the reigns, more rotation will be available for Barcelona, something the club has lacked over the past few years. Sanchez to Barcelona is also good news for Arsenal fans, as it is not as likely that Barcelona will spend 40 million for another backup player, especially after just spending 26 million. But with Sanchez going to Camp Nou, the European Champions have upgraded from having a great squad to an unreal one. Good luck Mourinho!
