Alexis Sanchez has agreed personal terms with Barcelona - Udinese president

Alexis Sanchez has agreed personal terms with Barcelona, claims Udinese president Franco Soldati, just 24 hours after he said the Catalans were in pole position for the Chilean's signature.

The deal will be based on a €3 million per annum contract, but Soldati
insists it does not mean a move is finalised as the two clubs have yet
to agree a fee. Nonetheless, Udinese will not stand in Sanchez's way as
he seeks a move to the European champions.

"From what we were told by the player's agent Fernando Felicevich, Alexis Sanchez has an
agreement with Barcelona for a contract worth €3m a season. This does
not necessarily mean he will go, but it is what the player wants,"
Soldati said, according to Chilean source La Tercera.

"We hope to fulfill the player's wish, but I don't think negotiations will be finalised until at least the end of June."

Udinese have set their price for Sanchez, in excess of €30m, and the attacker
will not move unless Barca match the club's valuation.

"Sanchez's yes [to Barcelona] does not mean a yes from Udinse," he disclosed.

"These are two different things. We will begin talks with Barcelona and we will not stop them from speaking with the player. But we are just starting with the talks.

"If they pay us what we want then there will be no problems, but we are yet to speak
about this. For the moment Barcelona are favourites to land Sanchez
ahead of Juventus and Inter. These are the three clubs that are close to
him, but nothing has been sealed yet in regards to a move.

"Again,this is just the start of things, but we want to finish negotiations by
the end of the month. The player's opinion obviously counts, but there
are other things we need to look at.

"In any case we are optimistic all will end well."
