Liverpool chasing Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez
Posted Sunday, May 18, 2014 by Dailystar.co.uk
LIVERPOOL want Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez in an £18million deal as they build up their squad for a return to the Champions League.
KOP TARGET: Liverpool want to bring Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez to Anfield this summer
Kop boss Brendan Rodgers is already chasing Southampton’s England talent Adam Lallana.
And now Liverpool like Arsenal have been told Sanchez wants to quit Barca because he wants more starts.
A deal won’t be done, though, until Sanchez, 25, has played for Chile at the World Cup.
FRUSTRATED: Sanchez wants to leave the Nou Camp due a lack of starts
He cost Barca £25million when he moved from Udinese and earns £90k-a-week at the Nou Camp.
Sanchez, who can operate either as a striker or on the wing, gave an eye catching performance when Chile defeated England at Wembley in November.
He scored both goals in Chile’s 2-0 win.
The arrival of Sanchez could see the departure of Italian Fabio Borini, who has just returned to Liverpool after being on loan to Sunderland last season.
SAN'S THE MAN: Sanchez won't agree a deal until after the World Cup
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet wants him back and a £8m bid for the Italian, 23, is expected.
But Rodgers told the Daily Star Sunday that no offer had been made yet.
