Arsene Wenger has rejected Manchester City big money move for Arsenal forward, Sanchez who is reluctant to renew his contract.
Alexis Sanchez
English Premier League side Arsenal have rejected a £50 million bid
from rivals Manchester City for Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez, who scored 24 Premier League goals for the Gunners last
season, is out of contract next summer and has reportedly said he wants
to play for City manager Pep Guardiola.
Arsenal have rebuffed all approaches for the 28-year-old and would
like City’s Raheem Sterling as part of any deal before Thursday’s
transfer deadline.
But Guardiola, who was in charge at Sanchez’s former club FC
Barcelona, is understood to want the Chilean as a straight purchase.
England forward Sterling has featured in all three of City’s games so far this season.
However, the 22-year-old is not guaranteed a starting role at
Etihad Stadium following the summer arrival of Bernardo Silva from
Monaco.
Sanchez had joined Arsenal from FC Barcelona in 2014 for a fee of
about £35 million and won the FA Cup for the second time last season.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had said a few weeks ago that Sanchez would “respect” his decision and stay.
The Chilean made his first appearance of the season in the Gunners’
0-4 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday, coming off for Alexandre Lacazette
after 62 minutes.
