Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez is reportedly prepared to ignore interest from Real Madrid, with Manchester City still his preferred destination.
According to a report from the Mirror today, the Chilean international has his heart set on reuniting with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium. The pair worked together in a hugely successful period for Barcelona.
Sanchez, who is in the final year of his deal at the Emirates, is said to be a target for Real Madrid as they look to bolster their attacking options even further. However, it looks as though he will rebuff them as he waits on a move to City.
The former Barca attacker was all but set to join the Citizens on the final day of the summer transfer window as Guardiola’s side had a bid worth up to £60 million accepted.
However, as Arsenal’s deal to sign Thomas Lemar from Monaco as a replacement fell through, the move was cancelled.
