Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez set for £35m Man City switch within days
ARSENAL forward Alexis Sanchez is on the verge of a £35million move to Manchester City.
The Chilean is out of contract at the end of the season and the Gunners are thought to be wanting to cash in on their star man this month.
According to reports, Arsenal have been negotiating with Man City since Friday over the sale of Sanchez.
Pep Guardiola has been informed that he must stump up £35m if he wants to take the 29-year-old to the Etihad Stadium.
But he is hoping to around the £25m mark, but could meet the Gunners’ demands just to avoid the same scenario which happened in the summer.
