According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Manchester City are willing to bid up to €30m for Barcelona winger Alexis Sánchez.
The 25-year-old, who is expected to leave the Catalan giants this summer, has been in fine form at the World Cup and has been instrumental in Chile's qualification from Group B. Manchester City's director of football, Txiki Begiristain, has reportedly been instructed to identify players that can aid City's chances in the Champions League next season and Sánchez is believed to be one of those players.
Sport report that the blues have put aside €30m for the Chilean winger which Barcelona are likely to accept. However, the player is understood to prefer a move to Serie A champions Juventus.
