Despite growing speculation and mounting pressure from rivals, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger remains firm in his stance—Alexis Sanchez will not be sold during the summer transfer window. The Chilean forward, who has just one year remaining on his contract, continues to be a major topic in the football world, with interest from several top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

Earlier, PSG’s reported interest in Sanchez sparked rumors when the player was spotted in Paris over the weekend. However, according to The Telegraph, the French giants have cooled their pursuit following the successful acquisition of Neymar. With PSG stepping back, Manchester City has a clearer path to pursue the Chilean international.

Sources suggest that City is preparing an offer worth £400,000 per week for Sanchez, including bonuses and image rights—an offer that could tempt both player and club. Last season, Sanchez made 52 appearances for Arsenal, netting 30 goals and providing 16 assists, firmly establishing himself as the team’s centerpiece. Pep Guardiola, eager to reunite with his former Barcelona player, views Sanchez as a critical addition to strengthen City’s Premier League and Champions League campaigns.

Guardiola’s City has already splashed out £220 million this summer, bringing in the likes of Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, and Danilo. But according to The Telegraph, the club is not finished yet. They are reportedly ready to make a final push before the transfer deadline, with a £60 million bid for Sanchez on the table.

While Wenger has publicly stated that he will not sell Sanchez—especially not to a Premier League rival—Arsenal’s position is complicated by the clock ticking down on the player’s contract. Holding onto him risks losing him on a free transfer next year, a scenario that could leave the club with neither money nor their star forward.

Sanchez’s situation reflects a broader challenge many top clubs face—balancing loyalty, ambition, and financial strategy. For fans who follow Bangla Cricket Live, the situation is all too familiar: keeping star players can define a season, but letting them go at the right time is just as crucial. As the transfer deadline approaches, eyes remain glued to whether Arsenal’s resolve will hold firm, or if City will seal the deal.
