Sánchez is still on a break after his exploits with Paraguay at the Copa América.

But, according to ESPN’s John Sutcliffe, his return to the Azulcrema may be shortlived.

The journalist tweeted that it would be no surprise if was to leave Las Águilas in the near future.

América boss Santiago Solari would not want to see Sánchez depart, as he was a key figure in the side’s excellent Guard1anes 2021 campaign.
