Alexis Sanchez’s future at Arsenal has become a huge worry for the club’s legion of supporters. The Chilean has been one of their best – if not the best – signings in recent years, but appears destined to leave this summer.
The former Barcelona ace’s contract with the Gunners will be up soon. His current deal expires in 2018, meaning Wenger must sell him in the upcoming transfer window or risk losing him for free a year from now.
The player has reportedly decided to leave the Emirates, a fate which was sealed by his demotion to the bench in their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool. Any new deal offered to Alexis will be turned down, according to reports.
A few Premier League rivals have been interested in the 28-year-old. Man City and Chelsea are two clubs who have been linked with the relentless forward, but those two giants have been dealt a huge blow.
According to the Daily Mail, Alexis Sanchez will not be joining the Blues or the Citizens, as Arsenal have barred selling the forward to a direct rival. Instead, Sanchez will be shipped abroad for the right price.
Le Prof looks to avoid a repeat of the Robin van Persie fiasco. The Dutchman, in his prime, was sold to Manchester United, and helped the Red Devils win the Premier League in his first season at Old Trafford.
This news will be welcomed by PSG and Juventus. The French and Italian clubs are also interested in Alexis, and can offer him titles and a bumper salary package.
