Lionel Messi reunited with another ex-Barcelona team-mate at Inter Miami? Alexis Sanchez reveals desire to live in Florida amid playing-time struggles at Inter

Inter Milan’s Alexis Sanchez has revealed his desire to play in the USA or Mexico, adding that he’d like to perfect his English in a city like Miami.

In an interview to TUDN, Suarez told the media outlet of his desire to play in North America, preferably in a city where he can ‘perfect’ his English.

Chilean teammate Diego Valdes, who plays for LIGA MX side Club America, is someone he’s been speaking with on the matter, as he continues to find on the outskirts of selection for club side Inter. Now, a move to MLS or Mexico could be on the cards as he looks for more playing time.

Per Gianluca Di Marzio, Sanchez stated that he envisions a future where he plays his soccer in North America, specifically in Mexico, Los Angeles or Miami.

“I would like to play in Mexico, the other day I was talking to a friend, I don’t know, it catches my attention, because there are teams there that are passionate, they focus on their club and all those things, I would like to, but I don’t know when. There are several clubs that I know, Pachuca, America, I like America, for the fans, for how they are, for the capital and for what Diego Valdés also told me,” Sanchez said.

“I would also like to try another culture, another language, I would like to perfect my English, I would like to live in Los Angeles, Miami, I don’t know, I don’t have nothing concrete at the moment: I’m focused on the Champions League with Inter and I’m giving my all.”

Inter Miami have become a completely different team with Messi in the mix. He brought with him ex-Barca teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, while a third may be on the way; Uruguayan Luis Suarez is rumored to be joining this January, too.

Now, with striker Josef Martinez leaving the club, Tata Martino’s cub are actively looking to bring in forward depth to support Messi and Leonardo Campana. With Suarez rumors continuing to grow, Sanchez could be intrigued by the option of reuniting with his former Barca friends.

The Chilean striker is currently preparing for matches against Paraguay and Ecuador as they look to boast their 2026 Conmebol World Cup qualifying campaign. They currently sit eighth in qualifying, and are in need of a pair of wins to further their contention.
