If you don’t know this by now, you should: little to no Arsenal fans have their money on Alexis Sanchez staying for next season. The Chilean ace has reportedly fallen out with the boss and a few team-mates, and has decided to leave the Emirates this summer after growing frustrated with the Gunners.
Odds are Arsene Wenger will cash in on the 28-year-old in order to avoid losing him for nothing when his contract expires in 2018. Le Prof, however, will have to fend off interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Man City.
To make things worse, another English giant has joined the race for Alexis. According to the Express, Man United have now joined the mix and are eyeing the situation of Arsenal’s top-scorer.
The Red Devils currently rely heavily on Zlatan Ibrahimovic for goals – a huge problem for Mourinho’s side, as his age and any potential suspension/injury could jeopardize their season. As a result, the 20-time Premier League winners have been on the lookout for a proven goalscorer.
Antoine Griezmann was their number one target, but the Frenchman has ruled out a move away from Atletico Madrid. Neymar has also been linked with an Old Trafford switch, but the Brazilian appears happy at Barca.
Wenger is keen on shipping Alexis abroad, with Juventus or PSG his likely destination. Given Robin van Persie’s unforgettable move from Arsenal to Man United, Gooners wouldn’t be able to handle seeing another one of their star players in a Red Devils jersey.
