Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez will be offered £400,000-a-WEEK by Manchester City as Pep Guardiola looks to land £50m top target
Pep Guardiola and club chiefs pulling out all the stops to ensure they snag Arsenal man before the transfer window closes
MANCHESTER CITY are drawing up an eye-watering deal worth £400,000 A WEEK for Alexis Sanchez.
Etihad chiefs have put meticulous plans in place for the Arsenal star’s arrival this month.
The £21million-a-year contract would make Sanchez, 28, the Premier League’s highest-paid player on a weekly basic of £325,000 plus £75,000 image rights.
That dwarves the £280,000 a week Paul Pogba earns at neighbours Manchester United.
Boss Pep Guardiola is preparing a £50m bid for the Chilean striker before the transfer window shuts on Thursday week.
City’s Director of Football Txiki Begiristain has been charged with making sure Sanchez is signed and will leave no stone unturned to make the South American star feels at home the moment he arrives.
City will offer him a choice of exclusive rented accommodation in the city and on the outskirts — all paid for by the club.
Sanchez — who is in the final year of his Arsenal contract and refusing to discuss a new deal — will also be given advice on where and what to buy if he decides to purchase a property.
