Barcelona eyeing shock move for Nani if Sanchez bid fails

Barcelona may turn their attention to Nani if they fail in their pursuit of Alexis Sanchez, according to reports in Spain.

The Spanish and European champions are hopeful of concluding a deal for the Udinese star, who is one of their long-term targets, but with interest from Manchester City, Chelsea and other Italian clubs, his future remains unclear.
But, should they miss out on Sanchez, Spanish newspaper Sport have claimed that Barca view Manchester United winger Nani as an adequate contingency plan.
The Portugal international was one of United's star performers last season, scoring nine goals and setting up 18 more in the Premier League alone.
But his form did not guarantee him a place in Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up with the likes of Antonio Valencia and Ji-Sung Park sometimes preferred to Nani.
That competition for places has further increased following the £20million arrival of fellow winger Ashley Young from Aston Villa already this summer.
And mindful of his desire to first-team football, Juventus and Bayern Munich have already expressed an interest in Nani, and now Barca could offer him a fresh challenge if Sanchez does not move to the Nou Camp.
