Sport (Barca paper) are saying the Barca offer is 40m Euro, split as 27m, with 13m in appearance bonuses. Udinese are apparently saying, "he wants to go to Barcelona - we want the deal to be finished now." So, sounds like it's close. The only curious detour is that apparently Barcelona are bidding for Neymar as well.

I don't believe they're in for Neymar, he'll go to Madrid or Chelsea. Fabregas for £35million and Sanchez for roughly the same and they're broke...
Barca say they are running on a 40m budget. Are they lying?
yes!
They said that they may need to use next years transfer budget, if thats the case then they'll be able to afford Fabregas & Sanchez. A Central defender should be a priority - then again, most teams cant get near them to test them!
There is gonna be some pissed off superstars sat on that bench next year.
I seems strange that they are recruiting so heavily with the quality of young players they have in the team. However, they always say you should buy from a position of strength. I think Villa may well be the one who misses out somewhat. He's not scored enough and a front line of Messi, Pedro and Sanchez...well.

Villa's a good creator aswell man. He's not your typical centre-forward, the lad can play anywhere in the last third..
He hasnt scored as much because he cant get the ball off Messi

After all this could he be staying?

For the love of god, end it already.
What an absolute fiasco this has been from Udinese.
Im sick of this one
I reckon so, I maintain Barca only got involved so that should a deal for Fabregas fall through again they had a backup deal all in place. As it is it looks like Fabregas is off this summer and with City pulling out of the deal as the player doesn't want to join them that leaves it down to either staying at Udinese or hope there's interest from us or Chelsea (both unlikely IMO)
Saves them right, Udinese have been greedy trying to drive up the price...
I thought at the beginning of this prolonged event that Udinese were going about their business perfectly...but now they seem to be losing their long list of suitors
I think they are playing it well, they will probably leave it now until deadline day knowing that someone will offer a crazy amount out of desperation
The way i see the whole saga, is Shitty bid was the highest, Barca was the lowest, United didn't make a bid and Sanchez preference was Barca.
And now that Fabregas is moving to Barca they are now skint so can't buy Sanchez unless they sell couple of their players.

Is anyone likely to have a crazy amount of money left over on deadline day? Most will have spent it by then.
I bet he ends up staying and then moving to a club like Bayern Munich for £15m next year after an average season at Udinese.
For the love of god, end it already.
Your kidding me, this is a muppets wet dream. It will go on forever and ever. Not like those accursed transfer threads that end all to soon.
confirmed?
Perfect muppet outcome, allows for another season of interest
Exactly.
Na. If he don't move now feck him. We will have Morrison next year
This has been a joke.
It seems we're not even linked anymore.
C'mon Fergie, grab him!

There's just no space in the squad for Sanchez, unless one of Nani or Valencia are sold.
Where did it all go wrong?
Yeah I don't even particularly care anymore now that I know Shitty aren't getting him.
Sanchezter United 
The result of Greed! Well done Udinese.
Doubt he's going to Barca. I'm sure if he was going there it would be wrapped up at this stage.
when they started whoring him to all clubs and start a bidding war.
Where did it all go wrong?
I don't think we ever had too much interest in him, especially at Udinese's valuation, we may have sounded him for the future, he's still very young and has something to prove, no club could justify agreeing his supposed price-tag in my opinion.
City did, Sanchez told them to feck off though.
Location, location, location. It seems like he just doesn't want to move to England.
If I hadn't grown up supporting United and I came from a latino country, the weather and cultures of Spain and Italy would appeal to me more, I'm sure.
take that picture down
We're not low-rent crisps-scoffing muppets with bad teeth are we?
At least I'm not anyway

I can't begrudge any player, even any of our lads, if they want to go to barca (mind you, its the only club i feel this way about right now).....it really is the top boy in all aspects....better weather, has a beach, better pay, less taxes, better nightlife, less strenuous league physically, best club side ever, etc , etc.
Fergie: Barca beat me to £35m Sanchez... but Sneijder and Modric are still in my sights | Mail Online
The 'article' starts with "Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he was prepared to break a club record to take Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United."
Uhh, where's the fecking quote? Or is it because this Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime says so, so it must be true?

I believe Bob Cass is actually one of the few reporters who Fergie is friendly with. He brings very few articles about United, normally ones connected with something from Fergie.
