Arsenal players think Sanchez is determined to leave after returning to training - report

ARSENAL players think Alexis Sanchez is desperate to quit the Emirates after returning to training on Tuesday, according to stunning reports.

Arsenal star Sanchez has been regularly linked with moves to Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich throughout the summer. 

Express Sport understands PSG are willing to launch a £35million for the Chile international, but only after they have completed a sensational £196m deal for Barcelona winger Neymar.

Manchester City are also keen to lure him away from north London, with Pep Guardiola viewing him as the final piece of his Etihad jigsaw.

Sanchez returned to training on Tuesday after initially delaying his return due to illness.

And the Daily Mail claim the 28-year-old left members of the squad in no doubt that he has made up his mind to call time on his Arsenal career.

Sanchez's contract with the north London side expires next summer, meaning he could wind down his deal and move for free 12 months down the line.

But it appears that he wants a transfer NOW and is not prepared to spend another season with Arsene Wenger's side.

Wenger has repeatedly insisted Sanchez will not be sold, with the Frenchman targeting a title tilt next term.

Arsene Wenger has repeatedly insisted Alexis Sanchez will not leave Arsenal

“The decision has been made and we will stick to that - the decision is not to sell,” he said last month.

However, Gunners fans can be forgiven for treating his words with scepticism.

Wenger said the same about Cesc Fabregas in 2011 - and Robin van Persie the following year - with both players then eventually moving to Barcelona and Manchester United.
