Alexis Sánchez, a Chilean forward 37 years old, is close to continuing his career at CF Montréal after finishing his time as a Sevilla FC player. The Canadian club has released a video anticipating his arrival, and according to The Athletic, the striker will join MLS as a Designated Player, although the financial conditions of the contract have not yet been disclosed.

The move would mark the end of Sánchez's second stint in LaLiga, a competition he returned to in 2025 to join the Sevillista team. During the past season, he played 28 matches, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists.

The operation gained strength after the message published by CF Montréal on their official channels. The Canadian entity released a video hinting at the identity of their upcoming signing, pointing directly to Alexis Sánchez and his arrival to occupy one of the weightier salary positions on the team.

The Athletic reports that the agreement involves Sánchez being registered as a Designated Player. This status allows MLS clubs to exceed certain salary cap restrictions to include players whose contract value exceeds the ordinary limit allowed by the league.

The financial details have not been made public. Currently, there is no confirmed information on the Chilean's salary or the exact duration of his new contract, so those conditions are subject to the final announcement.

His arrival comes after a season with Sevilla FC. The Andalusian club signed the striker in September 2025 on a one-year contract, reuniting the player with Spain after his time at Udinese.

Alexis Sánchez thus leaves LaLiga after completing 28 official matches in the last season with Sevilla, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists. His contract was initially planned for only one season, making his change of competition easier now. However, the Andalusian club had considered renewing with Alexis.

The MLS marks a new chapter in a career that has taken the Chilean through several European leagues. Sánchez previously played in LaLiga with FC Barcelona, followed by stints at Arsenal, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Olympique de Marseille, and Udinese, among other clubs.

The Chilean international arrives in Montreal at 37 years old, with over a decade of experience in major European leagues. In Canada, he would be designated as a Designated Player, reflecting the contractual status that the club intends to grant him within the team.

Pending the final announcement and details on the duration and salary of the agreement, the next step lies with CF Montréal. The franchise has already started publicly announcing the operation, and information from the United States indicates that Alexis Sánchez is close to officially becoming a new MLS player.
