Sanchez, 28, has refused to sign a new deal at the Emirates and he's being eyed up by Manchester City.

The Chile superstar's priorities are said to be trophies - not cash - and he's willing to take a pay-cut to go.

But Monaco want him too and they are willing to put a £45million bid on the table to get their man.

Arsene Wenger is publicly insisting Sanchez is going nowhere but Goldstein has other ideas.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Goldstein said: "It looks like Monaco will today make a bid of around £45milion for Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez is leaving Arsenal, according to Andy Goldstein

"It looks like he will go, Sanchez.

"It might be Monaco, it might be Manchester City, but he's going to go.

"You know that, I know that and Arsene Wenger knows that as well.

"I think it's a guarantee."

Sanchez was granted an extended summer break after playing for Chile in the Confederations Cup and his return to training was delayed due to illness.

"The only thing I can tell you is he is focused," said Wenger.

"My decision is clear - he will stay and he will respect that."

Wenger has now vowed not to speak about Sanchez's future and said: "It is not information anymore, it is suicide.

"He will be here for this season and if we manage to do it for more seasons, we will do it as well."
