Paris Saint-Germain are refusing to give up on Alexis Sanchez - despite Manchester City closing in on the Chilean.

Mirror Sport revealed this week that Sanchez is heading for City in a deal worth £400,000-a-week, with the Premier League leaders prepared to wait until next summer to land him on a free.

Sanchez has made it clear to Arsenal he is going to quit the club as he wants to win trophies.

City bid £60million for Sanchez in August but the deal did not happen as Arsenal could not get a replacement signed in time.

Pep Guardiola's side are confident they can wait until the end of the season to sign him, even though PSG remain keen and could bid in January.

Reports in France suggest PSG have contacted Sanchez's agent about a move to the Parc des Princes.

According to Canal Plus, PSG are aware that City are in pole position but are refusing to give up on striking a deal.

Meanwhile, Gunners legend Ian Wright has branded the contract sagas of Sanchez and Ozil as "disgusting business".

"It is terrible business for Arsenal, for a club that is accused of being a business to allow two players like that to run their contracts down," Wright said on Sky Sports' The Debate.

"Sanchez on top form is easily a £100m player. Ozil on top form is worth £70m to £80m. Arsenal are letting that go. It is disgusting business on the management side for Arsenal.

"How are you going to sell players like that in January for £25m? It is like people are laughing at you."
