With the transfer window drawing to a close, all eyes will be on the situation involving Alexis Sanchez. The Arsenal star enters the final year of his contract, with the player reportedly wanting out amid interest from rivals.
Man City are favorites to land the Chilean. The Citizens offered 70 million pounds for the South American ace, with the player rumored to be keen on a reunion with Guardiola. The former Barca attacker has also grown frustrated at the Emirates as there is no Champions League football this season.
There were reports on Tuesday that Raheem Sterling was offered in a player-plus-cash deal. Other outlets claimed that the Gunners asked for Aguero instead. Nonetheless, the rumor was not true.
Now, though, Man City might face competition for Sanchez’s signature. The player’s desire to leave before the window shuts close on Thursday, August 31 is so undeniable that the player has reportedly been offered to Man United.
The Sun write that the 28-year-old is “desperate” to leave the Emirates. Mourinho could offer him an escape route, but the Special One might pass up on the offer.
The Portuguese boss has already spent big bucks to land Romelu Lukaku, who has impressed in his first few Premier League games for the Red Devils. Furthermore, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been resigned to keep the Old Trafford side at the top of the table.
Man United are a shock option for the wantaway Arsenal star, but Man City remain favorites. The Gunners are not willing to sell, but only time will tell if the north London outfit budge and sell their best player.
