A. Wenger: A. Sanchez did not ask for my permission to leave

London's "Arsenal" coach Arsene Wenger calms down the rumors about a possible departure of forward Alexis Sanchez.

Arriving in Australia, the famous strategist assured that the Chilean had not mentioned anything to him about wanting to change clubs.

"No, he has not said anything," the specialist said.

The Frenchman also stated that he would not sell Sanchez to the biggest rivals in the Premier League.

"I will repeat what I said after the season, and my opinion has not changed," Wenger insisted, who was not worried about the expiring contract.

"Controlling players in the last year of their contract is very easy because the footballer plays with full power. No one can say whether Sanchez's contract will expire, as we can extend it before the start of the new season," the coach said.
