Alexis Sánchez Agrees Two-Year Deal to Join CF Montréal

Designated Player status with the No. 10 shirt could boost Montréal’s attack, signaling MLS’s continued pull for veteran international stars.

Overview

  • Multiple reputable outlets reported that CF Montréal reached agreement this week on a two-year, free transfer for Alexis Sánchez and the club posted a social-media teaser referencing the move.
  • Sánchez, 37, joins after the 2025–26 season at Sevilla where he scored four goals and provided two assists in 28 appearances.
  • He is Chile’s all-time leader with 51 goals and 168 caps and brings long experience from top European clubs including Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter Milan.
  • Reports say Sánchez will occupy a Designated Player roster slot, which allows Montréal to pay him above MLS salary limits, and the club indicated he will wear the No. 10 shirt.
  • Formalities remain incomplete: Montréal had not yet issued an official press release and multiple sources say medical checks and signed paperwork were still pending at the time of reporting, with an early matchup against Inter Miami a possible first test.
