Neymar and Dani Alves want Alexis Sanchez to join them at PSG

Sanchez, who has entered the final year of his contract, is wanted by a string of clubs including Manchester City and Real Madrid.

But, according to Don Balon, Neymar and Dani Alves have attempted to persuade him to join them at PSG.

Arsene Wenger is determined to keep Sanchez for the final year of his deal, despite running the risk of losing him for nothing next summer.

But the Arsenal boss has refused to guarantee that the Chilean will be at the club once the transfer window shuts.

When asked if he could give a 100 per cent assurance that Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mesut Ozil would still be at the Emirates beyond August 31, Wenger replied: “One hundred per cent never exists in our job.”

Sanchez has been offered £300,000-a-week to sign a new deal but is unwilling to put pen to paper.

The club are struggling to convince him to sign and, yesterday, Wenger said: “We have not progressed on that front.

“I want Sanchez to stay, I want Sanchez to extend his contract. But as well you have to be capable to afford to pay him.”

City lead the race for Sanchez and Don Balon report they have upped their offer to £60m.

Ligue 1 giants PSG signed Neymar for a world-record fee from Barcelona earlier this summer but remain interested in Sanchez.

And fellow South Americans Neymar and Alves have talked to him in a bid to push through a move.

Meanwhile, Russia international Aleksandr Golovin has opened the door on a move to Arsenal.

He said: “Of course, I will be pleased that such a club is interested in me.”
