Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez was badisted to return to the former Arsenal club by Gunners hero Marc Overmars.
Sanchez moved to Old Trafford a little over a year ago as part of an exchange deal between Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Arsenal.
Since then, Sanchez has scored just five goals in 37 appearances and found himself in the ranking standings at United this season.
With his highest declared salary of the club, the 30-year-old seems to be in a position where only an exclusive number of clubs could afford to sign the Chilean club if United were looking to reduce their losses.
And Overmars, now director of Ajax Football, told DNA Deportes in Chile that Sanchez might regret his decision to leave Arsenal.
He said: "I have a lot of respect for Alexis because he has done very well at Arsenal, I do not know if it was a good decision to leave.
"English football changes you, it makes you turn, it took me a step forward. Arsene Wenger arrived a year before me, Dennis Bergkamp made a strong impression in England. It was a fantastic period. I think we have changed the history of the club a bit. "
Overmars went on to mention that Arsenal had not found a substitute in the offensive midfielder since Sanchez's departure.
He added: "This type of players was very important to Arsenal because that's where you have to focus, after Alexis, Arsenal tried to recruit another player like this, but it was not given so he could come back to Arsenal. "
Whether Arsenal signs or not Sanchez is another matter. Their new attack on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette continues to improve and their recruitment has given priority to young circles such as Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
But with the departure of Aaron Ramsey this summer, they could be on the market to gain experience in their attack, and an unlikely comeback for Sanchez could be a short-term fix that will suit both Arsenal and United.
