Strap yourselves in.

This is going to be worse than the De Bruyne/Wolfsberg saga.

If it happens, don't expect it before the end of July. Well into August imo.

I don't think Wenger will allow a Nasri style situation with Sanchez. He is too big a star.

I would be surprised if he lets him go anywhere, before signings are made, to placate the fams & blads though.

No chance. 1 year left on the contract, player has all the power.

Honestly if I was Arsenal I would try and get £50million from us and ship him off as soon as possible then go out with that £50million and just buy Lacazette and move on without Sanchez, you get a full pre season then with a world class striker and by the time the season comes around the Sanchez scars will have healed somewhat.

Too much common sense in this post !
 
I think most of us believe Kroenke will reason that £50 million for a player with one year on his contract is preferable to nothing, possible mutiny in the dressing room and still no CL in a year. But we don't know if Wenger was given more say over transfers (than he had in 2011) as part of the agreement for his new contract. Personally I doubt it .....
 
Shouldn't need to be said, but the Kicker (magazine) report that Bayern are willing to give Sanchez €25m annually is complete bullshit.

Ultimately, that also seems unlikely.

If Arsenal are going to sell him, and the chances they hold onto him if he doesn't extend are zero, then they are better off doing it earlier and investing the money into signings of their own. Leaving it to the last week is a waste of potentially £50m that could be funneled to signings to placate the fanbase.
 
Alexis Sanchez is regarded as Manchester City's toughest deal of the summer, but things are progressing positively. [@Sammy_Goal]

Alexis wants to join City and there has been a growth in confidence at City lately that they will eventually get him. [@Sammy_Goal]
 
A bit of a long shot but Arsenal could still persuade Sanchez to sign a new contract and let him stick around for a season and then sell 12 months later. That isn't a guarantee he would give his best and would still help their cause. From our perspective we just have to play the waiting game and not let it mess up the rest of our transfer targets.

Ultimately, that does them little good too.

Actually, Van Persie didn't agree personal terms with the rags until the 14th August, which was after an agreement had been made between the clubs.

Van Persie announced he wanted to leave in mid-July, but there was a number of potential suitors at the time and he hadn't a preference either way.

In this instance, Sanchez has long announced his intention to leave and is clear where he wants to go - City. This is, as it happens, how City do business, ie, get the player on board first to speed up the process. Further, I'd argue there's not the competition existent to snatch away Sanchez. Yes, Bayern are there, but if the player doesn't want to go to Germany he won't go and that's before the financial difficulties involved.
 
So ultimately either Wenger has to sell to us or persuade Sanchez to join a club which is not his preferred option. The final option is to go for free next year and I think I am right in saying, but willing to be corrected, that he could sign a contract with us in January under Webster ruling.
