Arsenal face a losing battle to keep hold of Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean ace has been the club’s stellar attacker since joining, but failure to win the Premier League has him ready to quit.
With the player entering the final year of his contract, the 28-year-old has been linked with a move to rivals Chelsea. The Gunners will have to sell in the summer or risk losing him for free in 2018.
Gooners losing sleep over the thought of Alexis following in the footsteps of Ashley Cole and Cesc Fabregas by enjoying success with the Blues can breathe a sigh of relief. Cooperativa claim that the former Barca attacker will snub a move to Stamford Bridge.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, it gets worse from here. According to the Chilean news outlet, Sanchez will turn down offers from Chelsea because he has already made up his mind on joining Man City.
The player hinted in the past that he prefers to stay in London, but his friendship with Guardiola has reportedly led to a change in heart. This was up for everyone to see when the two shared a warm embrace during the 2-2 draw between the Citizens and the north London outfit.
£50m could be enough to lure the Copa America winner to the Etihad, but a move to Man City could be the toughest test for the Chilean. With the likes of Aguero, Gabriel, De Bruyne, Sterling, and Silva all vying for starting eleven spots, Alexis would have to overcome stiff competition to establish himself in Guardiola’s squad.
