5 possible destinations for Alexis Sanchez when he leaves Arsenal

#1 Real Madrid

Alexis Sanchez could be the answer to Real Madrid's misfiring attack

Not many expected Real Madrid to fall into a downward spiral in La Liga this season. At present, Alexis Sanchez is the tailor-made solution for solving Real Madrid's problems in the the league. With Gareth Bale injured and the duo of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo misfiring, goals have become hard to come by for Los Merengues.

It is no secret that Real Madrid will enter the fray in the transfer market with enough ammunition to purchase a star and Alexis has been on the list of their top transfer targets this January.

As for the Chilean, Real Madrid will definitely be hard to turn down should they come knocking at his door. Sanchez's arrival will definitely prove to be an upgrade over the injured Bale.

The Welshman has found hard to get game time this season, thanks to the recurring injuries that have restricted him to the sidelines. With Alexis, Ronaldo, and Benzema as the attacking trio in a 4-3-3 formation, Zidane can trust his squad to overturn their fortunes in the second half of the season.

But, according to recent reports, Ronaldo is against Zidane's views of signing Sanchez and does not see him as the ideal player to solve their problems up front. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid risk upsetting their star talisman.

Alexis has already played for Barcelona and it will be interesting to see whether he becomes the 33rd player to pull on the two famous shirts in Spain.
