Sanchez Decides His Future?
January 10, 2018It is no news that Arsenal star, Alexis Sanchez, is heading away from Arsenal to a club where he will seemingly be guaranteed silverware, and one club he has his mind set on is Manchester City, who he has been flirting with since the arrival of Pep Guardiola.
There has been plenty of rumours linking him to PSG lately while Arsenal's fierce London rivals, Chelsea, are also said to be interested. However, reliable sources have confirmed there have been some negotiation going on with Manchester City, which is expected to be around £30M, where he could re-unite with his former coach (at Barcelona), and the Citizens want it to be finalized and announced latest next week.
Arsenal boss, Arsené Wenger, on the other hand, would want a replacement to fill the vacuum Alexis Sanchez will leave, before sanctioning a sale. Prolific Strikers such as; Dortmund's want-away Gabon International, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Inter-Milan's top scorer & Captain Mauro Icardi and Manchester City's forward Aguero, have all been linked in recent weeks. Whether it would be done before Sanchez finally signs for Manchester City remains to be unseen.
Arsené Wenger is not likely to entertain any negotiations from Man City until after the first leg of the EFL Cup Semi Final match with Chelsea (scheduled on Wednesday 10 Jan) is played.
The Question now is, will Alexis sign in January for Arsenal to get £20m (and he gets a £15m signing Bonus), or sign for free in July (summer) and get a £30m signing Bonus, leaving Arsenal with nothing to get out of him?
While it would seem a smarter business decision to cash in on Sanchez through this window, it wouldn't be a shock if Arsenal and Wenger decide to let the Chilean run down his contract and leave for free in the summer. One of the season's intriguing transfer plots looks set to come to a painful conclusion either way for Gunners faithfuls.
