While Arsene Wenger is adamant that the Gunners will not be selling Alexis Sanchez this summer, that’s not stopping clubs from making their moves for the attacker.
The Telegraph are reporting that Arsenal are determined to keep Sanchez this season and they are prepared to let him wind down his contract and leave on a free transfer next summer if they cannot agree an extension.
Bayern Munich have officially ruled themselves out of contention while the Gunners are outright refusing to deal Sanchez to a Premier League rival with Manchester City waiting in the wings.
PSG have now re-entered the race for the 28-year-old and are considered the favourites to sign the Chilean this summer seeing as they can not only offer Champions League football but are able to meet his sizeable financial demands.
With PSG leading the race, they would be a wise bet to sign Sanchez this summer and you can get up to a £200 deposit bonus when you sign up to Bet365 here.
Sanchez has firmly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous forwards playing either from the left or through the middle for Arsenal.
Last season, the former Barcelona man netted 30 goals and provided 19 assists in 51 appearances in all competitions, taking his career Arsenal tallies to 72 goals and 42 assists in just 144 games since his £36.1m arrival from the Nou Camp in the summer of 2014.
PSG made fresh contact with Arsenal last week regarding Sanchez and the Ligue 1 club have a long-standing interest in the attacker.
Unai Emery and PSG want to not only regain the Ligue 1 title they lost to Monaco last season but also mount a stronger challenge in the Champions League following their shocking (and embarrassing) exit to Barcelona.
While it’s highly unlikely that Arsenal will go back on their strictly no sale stance regarding Sanchez, the North London club would not even entertain bids below £50m as they seek a handsome profit on the player despite his precarious contract situation.
Arsenal have spent big already this summer, smashing their transfer record to bring in Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon in a £53m deal to try and give them the firepower needed to break back into the top four following a disappointing League campaign last season.
Undoubtedly their best and most influential player, Arsenal cannot afford to let Sanchez leave the club, but if the player really pushes for it, the Gunners’ hands may be tied.
