I can't see Arsenal selling to a competitor, so (i) he stays as Arsenal pays up, (ii) he let's his contract run down,or (iii) Bayern buy him next summer.

He wants higher wages so Bayern wouldn't seem like likely suitors for that since their current cap is about £134k/wk at the moment, whereas we pay the likes of Schweinsteiger 200k/wk to not even make the bench.

If Sanchez wants higher wages its United, one of the Spanish giants, or China.
 
Doesn't he always want Champions League football? We probably could have got him in 2014, as we could have easily outmuscled Arsenal and Liverpool, but it seemed to be reported at the time that he wasn't interested in dropping out of the CL.

If a Chinese club are knocking, Arsenal could probably get somewhere close to a world record fee for him, considering the amount Oscar went for, who isn't even that good. Not sure he'd want to go though, if playing at the highest level - the CL - is important to him.

We decided to go for Di Maria.
 
I am as much a muppet as anyone but, this doesn't even register for me. This will not happen.

Yep, I doubt it will happen. If Arse can't pay up then he may feck off to China for double his current wages.

I don't think you are aware of what Bayern is paying their players. Müller is allegedly their top earner and on €15m p.a. That is about £240k/wk.
They are rich and they are spending.

If Sanchez leaves Arsenal in the summer then he's going to one of three clubs. United, Chelsea or PSG.
 
You missed out Arsenal's first team, City.

No. Aguero, Iheanacho, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Navas, Nolito, and Nasri, Bony on loan with Moreno and Gabriel Jesus coming in.

I could see City not buying another attacker for another 4 transfer windows. Unless they're idiots. They'll just buy more centre-backs.
 
Would love to have Sanchez here but I'm sure it's not going to happen. He rejected us once for Barcelona and then for Arsenal. Arsenal would be mad not to meet his demands. He is the one who is taking them from a top 4 team to a team challenging for the title. If he leaves, it will be either PSG or Bayern. There is no way Wenger would sell yet another star to his rivals.
 
Griezmann or Sanchez?
Personally, I'd go for Alexis everyday. Though I don't see us having the slightest chance to sign Alexis whereas I think we probably will attempt to purchase Griezmann next year.
 
This site has similar numbers as well. Maybe they are after tax ?

As you can see from this Deloitte reporting, our wage bill in 2016 amounted to 260mill €. Even after tax the numbers in your sources would still be too low.

Vultures will be circling around this one soon, I really hope Bayern get him ahead of Citeh.
 
No matter how feasible it is, I hope we at least try. Offer him 250,300. Whatever it takes to turn his head.

Would be nice to have a similar report with individual player salaries.
 
He's on 140 now so $200 should do the trick imo. Most clubs wouldn't pay that much but we obviously would.
 
Take him in a heart beat, he was the only one trying today in the second half.
Our closing down play with him mhiki Herrera pogba would be so rapid.

Zlatan could play another 3 years with mhiki and Sanchez either side

The Times wrote that Arsenal offered him 180k but he wants 250k. Could easily get it at clubs like Chelsea, City, PSG and us.
 
I just hope that we try for him if he leaves in the summer.Offer him 250-300kpw. Bayern would be his best option though trophywise.

Are you sure mate? Looked to me like he was clearly limited by an injury.
Even the commentator said he barely moved around in the last 15mins.
 
Was sulking throughout the match tonight. Can't blame him though. If Ozil doesn't show up and feed him the balls, he tends to do alot of that

Is there anything Sanchez would offer us anything that Mkhitaryan doesn't already?

No, but he would offer us more of the same from the opposite flank of Mkhi, also with a slightly better goal threat.

He'd offer all Mkhitaryan does but can play the opposite side too which would be excellent.

Think Sanchez is more of an attacker than Mkhitaryan. I think both can play in the same side.

He was still trying, was down on his heels at one point then jumped up to chase a lost cause.
Whilst carrying an injury, Jose would love that attitude
 
I can't see Wenger and the Arsenal board selling him to us.

Then again I probably thought the same thing about RVP back in 2012.

They would be bonkers to not pay him an extra 100k a week is it? ~ 5million a year is feck all for top flight clubs, especially one as famous as Arsenal. The same applies to Ozil.

Maybe it's all part of their wage structure and it's only their former legends in management/board getting top dollar.
