A player Arsenal need to cash in on before he walks away on a free is, Alexis Sanchez. The attacker’s contract expires in the summer – cash now, or free in the summer is the sticky situation.

The Sun assumes, as recent as yesterday reported Man City and Pep, lead the race to sign potent winger,  Sanchez. Arsenal have to act fast with a replacement needed immediately. So the earlier they get the Chilean out, the better.

Sanchez is reaching the latter years in his footballing career and looks to be in search of a move where trophies are won consecutively, and receives a massive increase in salary. With Pep incharge at Man City, and Man City being Man City – they tick all the boxes, comprehensively.

All these attributes count in his favour and looks most like to succeed with the type of football on display. This enhances the Manchester side’s chances and is the most suitable destination.

Why this is a race, rumours surfaced earlier in the week of Liverpool being a strong suiter with Philippe Coutinho on his way out. The only difference – the Reds will never offer the wage demand by Sanchez.

Latest news on Alexis Sanchez to Man City:

It’s been said that the winger’s representatives has been allowed to talk to Man City and the possibility of transfer before the January window closes.

It could be extremely true that Sanchez has played his last game in a Gunners shirt. The Sun is not the only reports saying Sanchez has agreed verbally. Pep was on a mission to only sign players to the value of around £50 million pounds.

However, if Arsenal cash in – they’d want to cash in for no less than £50 million. Imagine in today’s market where Sanchez might go over to a rival club for as little as £50 million, or less. Yet, Thomas Lemar is being boosted for £90 million.

Football never ceases to amaze me with it’s funny business. If all these reports are real, then Guardiola has filled in where he is treading lightly in personal.
