Alexis Sanchez now desperately wants to go to Real Madrid, according to reports.

The Arsenal star missed out on the Manchester City move he wanted in the summer because the Gunners couldn't get a replacement.

Now they're resigned to losing the star Chilean for free when his contract runs down at the end of the season.

Diario Gol claim that despite reports Sanchez is still keen on the move to play at the Etihad, he has turned his attention to the Bernabeu.

And they say his agent has been in touch for Real about making the deal happen.
