Juventus bid £25m for Alexis Sanchez

Italian giants Juventus have launched a £25m bid for Chilean international and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, according to Corriere dello Sport, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

According to reports, Arsenal are preparing to lose the 28-year-old in the summer, with the Chilean reportedly demanding a huge pay increase to remain with the North-London side.

Arsenal have offered the forward a contract of £180,000 a week, however, the forward is not the willing to accept less than £250,000 a week.

Arsenal have identified a number of targets to replace the 28-year-old, with Marco Reus, Alexandre Lacazette and Andre Silva all possible alternatives to Alexis Sanchez, if the Chilean was to leave.

The Chilean, who joined Arsenal in the summer of 2014 from Spanish giants Barcelona for a fee of £35 million, has made a total of 90 appearances for the north London club, scoring a total of 46 goals in the Premier League.

The 28-year-old’s transfer fee seems small for one of the best forwards in the league, but the Chilean’s contract, which is running down, means that Arsenal are unlikely to get the full fee that Alexis Sanchez is worth.

Huge fan of the beautiful game
