Alexis Sanchez is set for a new chapter in his career after agreeing to join CF Montreal, according to The Athletic, with the Chilean forward preparing to make the move to Major League Soccer at the age of 37.The veteran attacker has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning some of the biggest clubs in European football, representing the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United and Inter Milan. He now looks ready to take on a new challenge in North America after spending the previous campaign at Sevilla.🚨🇨🇦 CF Montreal agree deal to sign Alexis Sánchez on a free transfer, here we go! 🇨🇱Former Sevilla striker joins on a two year contract, free move and documents in place. pic.twitter.com/TT14HI92Hd— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 10, 2026 During his time in Spain last season, Sanchez featured 28 times across all competitions, finding the net on four occasions while also registering two assists.His arrival in Montreal could hardly come at a more important moment for the Canadian side. CF Montreal currently occupy 14th place in the Eastern Conference, collecting 16 points from their opening 18 games and sitting seven points away from the play-off places.One of the team's biggest problems has been in front of goal. Montreal have managed just 24 goals this season, a tally better than only one other team in the Eastern Conference. Sanchez's experience and attacking pedigree could therefore prove crucial as the club attempts to revive its campaign and mount a push towards the play-offs.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Few players can match Sanchez's international resume. The Chilean remains his country's all-time top scorer with 51 goals and has also made more appearances for Chile than anyone else, earning 168 caps.His club career has taken him to titles across several countries. Sanchez won La Liga with Barcelona in 2013 before adding Serie A triumphs with Inter Milan in 2021 and 2024. He also lifted the Chilean league title twice during his time with Colo-Colo.However, his greatest international achievements came with Chile's golden generation. Sanchez was a central figure in the country's back-to-back Copa America triumphs in 2015 and 2016, scoring the decisive penalties in both finals as Chile overcame Lionel Messi's Argentina.His trophy cabinet also contains two FA Cup winners' medals from his Arsenal days, collected in 2015 and 2017.A move to Montreal will see Sanchez follow a long line of high-profile names who have featured for the club in MLS. Didier Drogba, Alessandro Nesta, Victor Wanyama, Ignacio Piatti and Marco Di Vaio have all previously worn the Montreal shirt.For the Canadian club, bringing in Sanchez represents a clear attempt to add firepower and experience to an attack that has struggled throughout the season. For the Chilean, meanwhile, it marks another fascinating step in a remarkable career that began at Colo-Colo, took him through Europe's elite and will now continue on the other side of the Atlantic.##NAJAVA_MECA_9883491##
