Sanchez Rejects China Deal for Man City Move

Author: Bangla Cricket Live TVAffiliate

Manchester City has shown strong interest in Alexis Sanchez, but a move in the January transfer window remains unlikely. Despite rumors linking him to an early switch, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has made it clear that both Sanchez and Mesut Özil will stay with the club through the winter.

“We don’t have time to talk about their departures,” Wenger told reporters. “They are committed to the club and are vital players. If we want to keep them in January, we will.”

Sanchez’s current contract with Arsenal runs out in June next year. If Manchester City waits until summer to sign him, they could potentially land the Chilean forward on a free transfer, saving a hefty fee. Reports also suggest that if Sanchez joins City, the club may be open to transferring Sergio Agüero—a move that would reshape the team’s attacking lineup.

Interest in Sanchez dates back to the previous summer, when rumors swirled about his desire to leave Arsenal. Manchester City had reportedly submitted a formal bid at the time, but Arsenal’s failure to secure Thomas Lemar as a replacement forced Wenger to keep Sanchez at the club. Even though the deal fell through, Sanchez never lost hope of reuniting with Pep Guardiola, his former coach at Barcelona.

With the January window fast approaching, media attention around Sanchez’s future has intensified again. Despite several offers, one in particular stood out—a staggering contract proposal from Chinese Super League club Hebei China Fortune. The offer was reportedly worth £400,000 per week, translating to a post-tax annual income of around £21 million. To earn the same net income in the Premier League, Sanchez would need a pre-tax salary of nearly £800,000 per week.

Still, the Chilean star rejected the deal. Money wasn’t enough to sway his heart. His top priority remains Manchester City, driven by a desire to work once again with Guardiola and compete at the highest level of European football.

This decision shows that for some players, career ambition outweighs financial gain. Sanchez is focused on legacy, not just income.
