Sanchez could sign for Barca by Tuesday: report

Barcelona: Barcelona could complete their negotiations with Udinese and sign Chile international Alexis Sanchez by Tuesday, according to a number of Spanish reports.

After Barca sporting vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed the club began negotiations for the winger, Sport.es and El Mundo Deportivo now report the whole transfer could be completed within days.

The latest from Spain is that the Pozzo family, Udinese's owners, have struck an agreement with Barcelona, with Goal.com having exclusively revealed in May that the Italians are holding out for 30 million euros for the 22-year-old's services.

And, with a deal between the club's seemingly finalised, Sanchez, is now expected to fly to Spain so he can negotiate with the Catalans.

It is said Chile have allowed him permission to travel, and he could be in Barcelona on Monday to have a medical.

Once this is complete, the winger will finalise personal terms and contract length to then put pen to paper before returning to Argentina in time for the Copa America which takes place between July 1 and 24.
