Chilean forward Alexis Sánchez, 37, has signed with CF Montréal in Major League Soccer as a designated player, according to sources briefed on the situation. The veteran, who was a free agent after playing last season for Sevilla in La Liga, joins the Canadian club to bolster its struggling attack. Sánchez is Chile's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals and holds the national record for appearances (168 caps). His illustrious career includes stints at Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, with league titles at Barcelona, Inter, and Colo-Colo, plus two Copa America titles with Chile. CF Montréal, currently 14th in the Eastern Conference with 16 points from 18 matches, hopes Sánchez can provide a boost as they sit seven points off the playoff line. He becomes the latest high-profile player to join Montréal, following Didier Drogba, Alessandro Nesta, and others.
