Chelsea make Alexis their top summer target, agent aware

Mar 28, 2017

Antonio Conte is reportedly gearing up to take Alexis Sanchez to Chelsea this summer.

Alexis wants payrise from £130kpw to £250kpw
Chilean is frustrated by lack of progress by Arsenal
PSG, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and, Juventus have all been linked

The report, which appeared in the Guardian, claims that Antonio Conte has already spoken with the Chelsea hierarchy about bringing the Chilean to Stamford Bridge when the transfer window opens.

The Guardian claim that Alexis’s agent, Fernando Felicevich, is aware of Chelsea’s interest but it’s impossible to see how Arsenal can sell Sanchez to them. Especially not this summer.

With Arsene Wenger looking set to stay at the club, they need to make a massive statement of intent in the transfer window. Selling Alexis to another Premier League side would not be it.

Could you imagine the carnage at Arsenal if they sold Alexis to Chelsea? Could you imagine the carnage Chelsea could cause with him?

No thanks.
