Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City is set to be this summer’s prolonged transfer sagas, so just what do City fans think about it?
- There’s plenty of excitement about
- Some disagree about how useful a signing he’d be
- Some are experts on transfer dealings
Reports in England, Spain and Chile suggest Alexis’ move to Manchester City is only a matter of time before being officially announced, with manager Pep Guardiola desperate to sign the former Barcelona man..
Naturally, there’s a lot of buzz among City supporters around Alexis’ potential move to the Etihad, with some on Twitter telling the City account to “announce Sanchez”, while others are speculating how Arsenal will cope in his absence.
I hope @Alexis_Sanchez can hold out at Arsenal until January when they have no choice other than sell to us @ManCity or lose £60+ million

If Arsenal were to keep Sanchez until January, they wouldn’t be looking to sell him given how low his value would be due to his contract expiring in the summer. It also seems unlikely any side will match the £60m asking price.
Be interesting if Sanchez goes to Man City. Can't see Arsenal selling to a Prem team. They'd want someone like Sterling in the deal.

A swap deal wouldn’t be a bad idea given Raheem Sterling – out-of-form at Manchester City – would be an upgrade on Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott and Lucas Perez. City would likely rather just wait until 2018 to have Sanchez for free, rather than losing a useful player to sign him.
lol trust me we don't need Sanchez. Sanchez for who ?

The highly-industrious Sanchez is believed to have been a transfer target for Pep all season. Considering the Chilean scored and created 34 goals in 38 Premier League games and is capable of playing up front, City definitely would find a place for him.
