North London club Arsenal have rejected a £50m bid from Premier League rivals Manchester City for star-player Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean who has been the backbone of the squad for the last three seasons will be out of contract next summer and has expressed his desire to play for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
So far, Arsenal has blocked all requests for Sanchez from different clubs, while also adding to the terms of the deal, like asking for Raheem Sterling as part of any deal before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
But Guardiola is understood to want the Chilean as a straight purchase.
England forward Sterling, 22, has featured in all three of City’s games so far this season.
However, the England international is not guaranteed a starting role at Etihad Stadium following the summer arrival of Bernardo Silva from Monaco.
According to BBC Sport, Sterling would be interested in moving back to his home city of London should he become part of the Sanchez deal.
