FC Barcelona Star To Turn Down Serie A Move | CaughtOffside

Barcelona winger Alexis Sanchez has rejected talk that he could leave the club for a return to Serie A this summer, saying he is happy with life at the Nou Camp.

The Chilean winger has not quite lived up to his potential at Barca since a big-money move from Udinese in 2011, and it has been suggested that Inter Milan and Juventus might try to lure him back to Italy, where he caught the attention of a lot of top clubs with his performances. He has also been linked with Arsenal.

However, Sanchez told La Vanguardia that he feels he has learned a lot in Spain and can improve on his displays this season.

"I am calm," he said."I am focused on the Champions League matches. I want to win and I want to fulfill my contract which ends in 2016.

"For me, Barca is an education as a club. This is a club that teaches you a lot, as a person and a player, a club that takes care of both and in which I hope to learn as much as I can and to push myself to the maximum.

"This year I have six goals and there have been opinions from everyone, some strong, and some bad, but others have been okay.

Even if Sanchez is happy, Tito Vilanova may feel he could bring in someone better this summer. The Catalan giants have already been linked with a sensational move for wantaway Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.
