Alexis Sanchez has revealed that he is unsure about whether he will be playing in an Arsenal shirt next season, according to Sky Sports reporter Bryan Swanson.
When asked about his chances of staying at the Emirates for next season, the Chilean replied:
“I don’t know, my friend, I don’t know.”
The reply of Arsenal’s star man will have fans extremely worried as Premier League rivals Manchester City have reportedly intensified their efforts to lure the player to the Etihad.
The 28-year-old forward was in sensational form for the North London club last season, getting his name on the scoresheet 24 times in the Premier League season but it was still not enough to fire Arsenal in to the UEFA Champions League positions.
Arsenal will be playing in the UEFA Europa League next season whereas Sanchez would prefer Champions League football, so Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is facing a battle to keep hold of his star player.
Manchester City can use the Champions League to convince the Chilean to move to Manchester. The forward started eight times in Europe’s elite competition last season and scored three times as Arsenal were dumped out of the competition by German giants Bayern Munich.
A reporter later asked Sanchez if he’ll be joining Claudio Bravo at City next year. This is how the conversation went (via Bryan Swanson)
