"Manchester City" has finally started negotiations with London's "Arsenal" regarding the possible transfer of Alexis Sanchez, revealed by sources of the portal Goal.com.
So far, the "Gunners" have refused to sell their star, but with only one year left on his contract, the situation may now change.
Both the club's management and coach Arsene Wenger would rather keep the Chilean in the team for another season and risk letting him go for a lower price next summer. However, in recent days, more acceptable options for "Arsenal" have emerged.
Raheem Sterling, the winger for the "citizens," may be included in the Sanchez deal - the "Gunners" themselves insisted on considering such an option.
Meanwhile, according to Goal.com sources, "Man City" would not oppose giving up defensive midfielder Fabian Delph, whose future under Pep Guardiola is also unclear.
Earlier reports indicated that "Arsenal" would like to replace Sanchez with "citizens" striker Sergio Aguero, but it seems that the Argentine does not want to move to North London.
The deadline to finalize the current talks is until Thursday midnight. As reported in the media, Sanchez has already reached an agreement on his contract within "City".
