Arsenal reject £45m bid from Man City for Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez’s future at Arsenal has been in some doubt for pretty much a year now.

The Chilean has just a year left to run on his contract and is showing no signs that he is close or even considering signing an extension with the Gunners amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester City.

PSG have also been keen on signing the former Barcelona forward but their swoop for Neymar might see them out of the race.

Arsenal are adamant that the player will not leave this summer and that’s reflected in their actions towards any incoming bids.

Fernando Felicevich, Sanchez’s agent, has told Chilean newspaper El Mercurio that Arsenal have rejected a £45m offer from Manchester City this summer.

Despite his contract situation, Arsenal do not want to part ways with Sanchez at any price, valuing one more season out of the Chilean more valuable than any fee they could receive for him.

If that’s true, then Sanchez will be able to pick and choose between suitors next summer when he leaves the Emirates on a free transfer, giving the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG a free run at signing the player.
