SANCHEZ CITY BRAKE
Striker fears Arsenal will block his move to Etihad.. and leave Bayern Munich as his only way to escape the Emirates
ALEXIS SANCHEZ fears Arsenal will stop a move to Manchester City, leaving Bayern Munich as his only escape route.
The Gunners are determined not to sell to a Premier League rival even though City will beat Bayern’s £40million offer for the striker and give him a £280,000-a-week
contract. Sanchez has a year to run on his current £130,000-a-week deal and has been offered more than double that to stay at the Emirates.
The Gunners are determined to play hardball even though Pep Guardiola is willing to pay £50m.
City believe the 28-year-old wants a move but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger could be willing to allow Sanchez to run down his contract and leave on a free next year rather than sell to them or Chelsea.
Bayern have sounded out Sanchez’s representatives but believe he wants to stay in the Premier League.
