Football news portal Goal.com sources reveal that the transfer of Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United depends on whether Henrikh Mkhitaryan agrees to move to Arsenal in London.
The situation is such that without the replacement of their player, not only Arsenal does not want to let go of Sanchez, but without the departure of the Armenian, the transfer will no longer interest the Red Devils.
Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola has already met with Arsenal representatives this week and is eager to finalize the transfer, as this way he would be paid for his intermediary role. However, the player himself has not yet decided on his future, so the negotiations between clubs have stalled.
"Manchester United is not planning to acquire Sanchez unless Mkhi agrees to join Arsenal," Raiola told The Times.
"Mkhi intends to act in the way that is best for him. There are still two and a half years left on his contract, so it is his decision."
Raiola also noted that the main part of this deal is Mkhitaryan, not the leader of Arsenal.
"Sanchez is part of Mkhi's transfer, not the other way around," the agent added.
As reported so far, Arsenal will sell Sanchez for 35 million pounds, but Mkhitaryan must arrive in London for this to happen.
