A new edition of the Pacific Classic is approaching and both teams are getting ready in the best way to get the 3 points in this round of the Eliminations. However, Chile's biggest star, Alexis Sanchez, has just received some tough news from Italy that could divert his total attention in the match against Peru. Here are the updates on the 'Wonder Boy'.

In the absence of Arturo Vidal, Chile's major focus in this double round of the 2026 Eliminations falls on Alexis Sanchez, the Inter Milan player who is not doing well in Italy and is already starting to raise doubts in the Neroazurro squad. In fact, the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport has just announced that they are looking for an immediate replacement.
"He is without goals produced by substitute forwards Arnautović and Sánchez, who are also physically fragile. If the 'hole' of offensive alternatives runs the risk of becoming an abyss, then the summer flirtation could have the conditions to become something else...", the Italian newspaper stated.
In fact, leaked information indicates that Inter Milan is aiming for Iranian Medhi Taremi from Porto and Albanian Armando Broja from Chelsea. The priority is the Portuguese team's striker.
However, not everything seems to be bad news for Alexis Sanchez because the Italian newspaper indicated that coach Simone Inzaghi has faith in him: "The Chilean seems to be giving his best currently outside the opposing area, as a finisher and not as a forward. And the truth is that the numbers from last season at Marseille still give hope".
