Bayern’s Alexis snub leaves Arsenal star with just two options
Alexis Sanchez is unlikely to join Bayern Munich this summer for monetary reasons, according to reports in the German press.
Despite being strongly linked with a move for the Chile star, Kicker via Transfermarkt claims that the move is looking increasingly unlikely.
The Bundesliga champions are reluctant to cough up the £50m that the Gunners are demanding for the 28-year-old, particularly given that the player will be out of contract next summer.
Bayern are also not prepared to pay Sanchez’s wage demands of £280k-per-week as they feel it would break their wage structure and cause potential squad disharmony.
That pretty much leaves two options for the forward, stay at Arsenal and leave on a free next summer or head to Manchester City.
The Gunners, however, are desperate not to sell to a Premier League rival but may now have very little option if they want to receive a fee for their talisman, especially now that Bayern are seemingly no longer in the mix.
