Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are near the end of their Arsenal contracts. Only two years remain on their deal, leaving the Gunners to sweat over their future and whether they will extend.
Money – followed by silverware – will be a deciding factor, as both seek a pay-raise. Although Wenger wants to keep both the Chilean and German, the latter could be sacrificed if the north London outfit can meet only one player’s demand.
However, Sanchez appears to be the more frustrated out of the two. His anger after the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth was visible, as the former Barca man was seen throwing his gloves at the ground after the final whistle.
According to El Confidencial, it is the Copa America winner who is more likely to extend his stay with Arsenal. Kike Marin, a trusted journalist from the aforementioned news outlet, claims that the World Cup winner is unhappy with his wages.

The “Assist King” is pushing for a higher salary, and is thus holding up and complicating negotiations with the Arsenal board. This does not mean he will be on his way out, as the Gunners might just open their tight purse and cave into the former Real Madrid ace’s demands.
