London's Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger spoke yesterday that the future of Alex Sanchez will be clarified within 48 hours, and the first half of this period is already coming to an end.
The forward, who is not extending his contract with the Gunners, has been linked with Manchester City and almost moved there in the summer, but now the City's plans have been disrupted by the demanded sum of 35 million pounds.
The leaders of the Premier League do not intend to pay such an amount for the Chilean. However, their main competitor, Manchester United, according to BBC, has now become the favorite to acquire the 29-year-old footballer.
Furthermore, United is also offering Sanchez a higher salary and would not refuse to include attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the deal, who does not fit with coach Jose Mourinho.
The English newspaper Daily Star reports that Arsenal is also interested in United's winger Anthony Martial, but the chances of him coming to London are significantly lower.
In any case, the probability of Sanchez moving to the Red Devils' team has recently become very high.
