Alexis hopeful of Manchester City switch

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez is reportedly still confident of getting his move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer as the club won’t want to miss out on a potential £50m for his sale.

Arsenal are currently at a crossroads with the Chilean international. Alexis has 12 months left on his deal and has refused to sign a new contract.

The Gunners can keep him for another season and lose him for free, or sell him this summer for a reported £50m.

Manchester City are leading the chase for his signature, reports the Daily Star, but Arsenal are highly against selling to a Premier League title rival.

Bayern Munich have also been linked with the 28-year-old but have said on a number of occasions that they cannot match the asking price or player’s wage demands.

Nevertheless, Sanchez still believes Arsenal will sanction a transfer if they can raise a large sum of money to fund a replacement, having been linked with Monaco’s Thomas Lemar and Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez.

Arsene Wenger now needs to consider if it would be worse selling to a club with aspirations on winning the Premier League title next season but making a lot of money to reinvest in new players, or have a tilt at the crown this upcoming campaign and lose Alexis for free next summer.
