Alexis Sanchez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes nine starts Sanchez ended the 2026 MLS campaign without a goal or assist across 15 appearances, including nine starts.

Impact Sanchez saw intermittent opportunities in Montreal's attack, making nine starts while also featuring six times off the bench. He attempted 12 shots, with five on target, but failed to register a goal or assist during the campaign. His limited attacking output prevented him from establishing himself as a consistent source of production, particularly with Prince-Osei Owusu and Daniel Rios accounting for most of the team's goals. He ultimately played a secondary role in a difficult season for Montreal.

Impact Sanchez has been a bit of a bust since joining CF Montreal in August, registering just one secondary assist across 12 appearances. Those aren't the Designated Player numbers that Montreal were looking for. He has three games left in the season, starting at Charlotte FC on Wednesday.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Five crosses Wednesday Sanchez registered one shot (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Atlanta United.

Impact Sanchez continues to see the start for Montreal, but has yet to truly impress with his new team, having yet to bag a goal contribution in his 10 appearances (six starts). His best matches so far have consisted of quite a few crosses, although he isn't creating many chances or seeing many shots on net. That said, the veteran is clearly past his best, leaving a lot to be asked for so far in his Montreal career.

Start with 12 crosses Sanchez had three shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Charlotte FC.

Impact Sanchez has been eased into Montreal, an unsurprising development considering that he just transferred out of La Liga team Sevilla to the Canadian side not that long ago. Last Sunday marked Sanchez's first start with Montreal, and Wednesday ensured that he would begin his September with back-to-back starts. Mid-week, he looked like the Sanchez of old, leading the team in crossing and chance creation, giving Montreal a glimpse of what the Chilean could do leading the charge in a less strenuous setting.

Impact Sanchez looks set to increase his workload gradually over the next few weeks, considering he just joined Montreal after being inactive since his last appearance for Sevilla on May 23. The veteran attacker logged 11 minutes in his MLS debut Wednesday versus Columbus, but he barely touched the ball, so his first real chance to produce could come in the match against Galaxy if he's in fact given more time on the field. His inclusion will threaten the involvement of Hennadii Synchuk on the right wing and Prince-Osei Owusu at center-forward.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for MLS debut Sanchez (not injury related) is on the bench to face Columbus Crew on Wednesday.

Impact Sanchez will look to see his first minutes as a Montreal player as a backup for either Hennadii Synchuk on the right flank or Prince-Osei Owusu in the middle of the front line. The experienced attacker should add creative talent to his new club's offense and could soon become a regular set-piece taker when given meaningful time on the pitch. However, he might still need a few weeks to be ready to start.

Impact Sanchez completed his move to Montreal this week on a deal running through the 2027 MLS Sprint Season, with a club option for 2027/28, after spending last season at Sevilla.

Impact Sanchez spent the 2025/26 season at Sevilla, and while there were rumors linking him to European clubs, he decided to move to MLS on a Designated Player contract. The Chilean might not be the player he once was, but he should be a regular starter and contributor for a Montreal side that doesn't have a lot of firepower in their attack.

Picked for bench Sanchez (groin) is on the bench for Monday's match against Mallorca.

Spotted in team training Sanchez (groin) was spotted in team training Friday, the club posted.

Impact Sanchez seems to have fully recovered from his muscle tear since he was spotted training fully with the team on Friday, working on his one on one. This is good news since the Nino Maravilla is a regular starter under coach Matias Almeyda and his return will be a boost to the frontline. His next chance to feature will come against Mallorca on Monday.

Impact Sanchez suffered a muscle tear in his groin area and will be out for the time being. The forward will likely be assessed in the coming days to get a better vision on his timeline to return from this setback. The Nino Maravilla was a regular starter for Sevilla since four games as he started in three of the last four clashes, meaning a change will have to be made in the frontline, with Peque as a likely option to see an increased role, although Akor Adams will likely get the nod now that he is back available.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful against Elche Sanchez (groin) is a doubt for Monday's clash against Elche, the club announced.

Impact Sanchez suffered a contusion to his pelvis and is a doubt for Monday's clash against the Franjiverdes. The Nino Maravilla will likely be a late call after the final training session, although he still has a few days to be back fit for Sevilla. If he had to miss some time to recover, Peque could see a larger role in the frontline until Akor Adams (international duty) returns.

Impact Sanchez recorded 90 minutes on the pitch for the first time in the 2025/26 campaign while notching season-high tallies of shots and chances created against the Merengues. The experienced attacker, who remains with two goals and one assist across 12 matches played, could see more action in the near future as Isaac Romero's partner in the front line until Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke return from international duty.
