Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is considering offering Alexis Sanchez to PSG in a swap deal, despite interest in the Chilean striker from both Manchester United and Manchester City.
According to the Daily Star, Wenger is extremely keen on signing German attacker Julian Draxler from the French side and would be willing to let Alexis Sanchez — who is out of contract with Arsenal next summer — go the other way.
Sanchez came close to joining Manchester City in the summer, but the north west club would not relent on Wenger’s pursuit of Raheem Sterling, and then the Gunners failed in signing Thomas Lemar of Monaco, so Sanchez was not allowed to leave the club as no replacement had come in for him.
However, Julian Draxler would be a very handy replacement for the Chilean, and to receive such a player in a swap deal for the Sanchez would be a great coup for the Gunners, as Alexis’ value deteriorates with every month that he becomes closer to leaving on a free transfer.
Draxler joined PSG from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in January this year, and has since made 33 appearances for the Ligue 1 side, scoring 11 goals in that time.
