Man City chiefs ‘already in Chile to negotiate with Alexis Sanchez over four-year deal worth £10.8m a year’
Arsenal striker at centre of transfer tug of war between Etihad side and others is on brink of move
MANCHESTER CITY chiefs are already in Chile to negotiate with Alexis Sanchez over a four-year deal worth £10.8million a year, according to reports.
Arsene Wenger is reportedly fuming with the frontman after the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.
He was in training with Jorge Sampaoli's men yesterday.
But his plans could alter with the claim that City bosses are in Santiago to finalise a transfer, according to emol.com.
That report should be read with a note of caution, however.
Emol also cite Raheem Sterling as being part of the move in a cash-plus-player offer.
