Football star Alexis Sánchez has publicly refuted rumors suggesting he is in talks to rejoin his former club, Universidad de Chile. The Chilean forward, who is currently without a team after leaving Sevilla, took to social media to dismiss the speculation.

Reports initially surfaced on Instagram, hinting at a potential transfer. Sánchez responded directly to these claims, writing, "Where is all this false information coming from? I haven't had any contact with anyone. Leave me alone at home, relax. If I were to return to Chile, it wouldn't be now." He later deleted the post.

Further speculation arose from a streamer who suggested Sánchez's potential return was a tactic to distract from the club's internal issues. Sánchez addressed this more forcefully, stating, "I don't know who you are, friend, but where is all this false information coming from? I haven't had any contact with anyone. Leave me alone, I'm not in any circus. If I were to return to Chile, it wouldn't be now. Thanks."

De dónde sale toda esa información falsa, yo no he tenido ningún contacto con nadie. Déjenme tranquilo en casa, relax. Si volviera a Chile no sería ahora
