Bayern target Arsenal star forward – but would he really leave the club?
|Arsenal winger Alexis Sanchez is subject to interest from Bayern Munich, who will make the Chilean their no.1 target this summer.
According to AS Chile, Carlo Ancelotti has begun to devise a list of targets that he would like to bring to the Bavaria club when he joins in the summer and has placed the 27-year-old amongst the key candidates. Alexis has become a serial fan favourite in north London and signed in 2014 for a reported transfer fee of roughly £35m.
Alexis has two years currently remaining on his contract and Arsene Wenger recently confirmed that discussions regarding a new contract had been put on hold until the summer, when the Frenchman will attempt to secure the long-term futures of both the ex-Barcelona star as well as record signing Mesut Ozil, who also has just over two years remaining on his deal.
It would likely take a bid upwards of £40m to persuade Wenger to part with the Chilean international but it’s unlikely that he would allow any deal to get rid of Alexis to go through, with Arsenal in no position or need to sell.
In five years Arsenal will be as Liverpool ad now. Please Wenger please don’t be blinkered, look out of your bubble and see what we here, the supporters can see, relinquish your strangle hold and gracefully step down before main players decide the club are always treading the fourth place water. Vetting strong characters so nobody questions your authority (God forbid it!).
Please, as I’m a forty five year long supporter and the club is for the fans not you, I want heart, emotion, grit, pride mixed in with flair, not choir boys. Players chosen not just for ability but sadly chosen for never raising disagreement, doing as they are told, nice boys, boys you take home to your mum. They will never win a title but that’s not what you crave like us, you want top four, please the board, get massive pay!
You have enough money now Mr Wenger to live a hundred of my lives.
Let us now live ours! Please, please, PLEASE, let us go!!!!
