Manchester City and Arsenal have finally opened talks over a
deal for Alexis Sanchez.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had refused to welcome any
offer for the Chilean all summer but talks are underway and a deal is being
hammered out according Goal UK.
The Chilean forward remains determined to join City and the
Gunners are now receptive to the idea of selling the Chilean, having previously
refused to entertain any offers throughout the summer.
Raheem Sterling is one of several options that have been
mooted during negotiations between the two clubs in the past 48 hours, though
Goal understands it is the Gunners who have pushed for his inclusion.
There have also been reports elsewhere in the media that the
Gunners have floated the idea of including Sergio Aguero in the deal, though
sources close to the player insist the Argentine has no desire to make the
move.
Alexis has long agreed personal terms with Manchester City.
