The Chile international is yet to commit his long-term future to Arsenal despite having less than 12 months left on his current contract. 

Arsene Wenger is determined to tie him down to a new deal at the Emirates as he looks to secure a return to the Champions League next season. 

However, admitted last month that he wants to play in the Champions League this season. 

This has put the likes of Premier League rivals Manchester City on alert.

But are on the lookout for a new forward following the £200millon sale of Neymar to to Paris Saint-Germain. 

Ernesto Valverde has set his sights on Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho to replace the former Santos man. 

However, the Reds issued a public statement outlining he is not for sale and have also rejected a third offer of £118m for his services. 

And with Merseyside outfit playing hardball Coutinho, Balague reckons they could perhaps consider bringing Sanchez back to the Nou Camp instead.

But he insists the star is not currently on their radar. 

“To be honest this is a good point,” Balague said on SkySports during a Twitter Q&A when asked why Barcelona have not considered Sanchez.

“But he didn’t succeed at Barcelona, he struggled with the style at Barca at that time. 

"Now he would be a good addition, but no, they have not considered him.”

Sanchez spent four years at Barcelona, but left the club for Arsenal in 2014 for £35m.
