Apart from the fact that United, Chelsea and Barca aren't "Italian clubs", you mean?
No.

Inter was it?Widespread reports in Spain claim Barcelona are set to finalise a deal to sign Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
The 22-year-old winger has been linked with a host of Europe's top clubs this summer.
Manchester City have lodged a substantial bid for the Chile international, while Inter Milan and Juventus have also been in talks with Udinese.
But earlier this week Sanchez rejected a move to City and his agents are now thought to be in Spain, negotiating terms over a five-year deal with Barca.
Reports claim the Spanish and European champions are willing to offer Udinese a fee of around €25million (£22.3m) plus 23-year-old winger Jeffren Suarez to secure the services of the in-demand Sanchez.
For a place on the bench?That would be a great deal for Sanchez.

He'll have to fight with Pedro, he's got a good chance.
Pedro is an academy product whom are always favoured at Barcelona.
He was signed at the age of 17, not really an academy product. Bojan, an actual academy product, hasn't been favoured much...
We'll see. I think Sanchez would get chances at Barcelona. But Afellay must be in despair...
United seem to be the weakest 'big' team in the transfer Market to me. Why is there no chance for us with these players, aguero etc. Frustrating.

What was he thinking when he went there in January? That he was going to be a starter? It is only going to get worse next season. I won't be surprised if he leaves this summer.

Probably because we don't want them.

Sanchez and Aguero aren't players that we really must have. We're strong on the wings and with strikers. Not much point spending that much for a bench player.
We don't need them. So why would we shell out stupid money for them? They are also unproven in the PL.What? Why wouldn't we want a exceptional young prospect like Sanchez or Aguero?

NooooooooooInter was it?

Notwithstanding that they might have no interest in playing the PL, might be after extortionate wages, may be set on joining someone else, etc, etc, etc.
Are you saying we should be after every half decent player just because they might happen to be after a move?
Although we could do with another winger (left sided) we don't need one.
What we need are a GK and 2 central midfield players (one AM).
If we break the bank it will be for one of these central midfield players:-
Pastore (don't see it happening)
Schneijder (don't see it happening)
Modric (don't see it happening)
Nasri (not this year!)
Fabregas (don't see it happening)
Gourcuff (dont see it happening)
Not sure who that leaves who is quality - unless SAF has a very young player from nowhere who can step in and step up!
I don't believe the Barca story.
Even we were reported to be close to signing Sanchez recently.
So why believe just the Barca story?

There's no way Sanchez would be on our bench.
Who's he going to put on the bench? Valencia, Park, and Nani will be very hard to displace. He wouldn't be a guaranteed starter with those wingers, especially in big games.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Barcelona are going head-to-head for Chilean wing wizard Alexis Sanchez.
Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to score a victory against the Spanish giants after losing the Champions League final.
And the United boss plans to win a £25million signing war for Sanchez, 22, who has told his Italian club Udinese that he wants to leave.
The South American star – one of the best players in Serie A – is already the subject of an offer from Barcelona. His agents and Udinese’s president Gino Pozzo met in Spain yesterday to discuss a deal.
