Barcelona have reportedly set an €18m price-tag on Alexis Sanchez, as Juventus prepare a summer swoop.

The Chilean was discovered by Udinese and impressed to such a degree in Serie A that Barça paid €26m for him in July 2011.

At the time, they won a bidding war with Juve to snap up El Niño Maravilla.

According to Tuttosport this morning, Barcelona are prepared to release Sanchez for around €18m.

The 24-year-old support striker has scored just four goals in 29 club games in all competition this season.
