Alexis Sanchez has revealed that he will be remaining at Barcelona next season.

The striker has been linked with moves to Manchester City and Juventus, having failed to secure a regular first-team place with the La Liga champions this season.

"The club has told me that they want me to stay and now I am more calm. Everyone has said they want me to stay on and I am happy to be here for another season," Sky Sports News quotes the Chilean as saying.

"Other clubs have shown interest in me, but I am happy to remain here and to earn a place in the team, which is most important.

"My intention has always been to stay and to do the best that I can. I have learned a lot of new things here. Next season I intend to be at my best. I have also learned a lot on the football front."

Sanchez joined Barcelona from Italian side Udinese in 2011.
