According to the Daily Mirror, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have
offered Arsenl both cash and Raheem Sterling for Alexis Sanchez in a
last ditch attempt to sign him.
The 28 year old Chilean international has just under one year left on
his contract, and despite insistence from Arsene Wenger that he
wouldn't be sold. The speculation linking him to Manchester City have
only continue to grow. With this latest development it remains to be
seen how it plays out before Thursday's transfer deadline day.
There are also reports that Sanchez, who is currently in camp for
Chile ahead of a World Cup qualifier has asked to leave the camp to
sort out his future.
There were unconfirmed reports of a transfer request from him on
Thursday. Before this latest report emerge today.
The reported offer from Manchester City has come out completely from
the blue. Their interest have always been there. But this development
was unexpected, especially for a player who earned the club four
points in their last two league matches.
Another layer to the lastest report, is that Raheem Sterling shares
the same agent with so to be Chelsea player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. A
agent who was instrumental to his client's refusal to extend his stay
at Arsenal.
However, the wait to see how this ends shouldn't take long know as
there must be a closure by Thursday night.
