Atleti are still waiting on Chelsea to pay them and complete the Diego Costa deal. Then use that money to buy Negredo while we then use that money to buy Sanchez. So Chelsea is indirectly involved in our transfer dealings.

The Barcelona forward looks set to be involved in one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer as the Premier League champions enter the race for the Chile star

EXCLUSIVE
By Paul Clennam

Manchester City have asked Barcelona to keep them abreast of developments on the situation of forward Alexis Sanchez as the Premier League's elite clubs consider bids for the Chile international, Goal understands.

Arsenal, as exclusively revealed by Goal on Saturday, head the list of interested parties, with Liverpool and Manchester United also monitoring Sanchez's future.

But City are considering a big-money move themselves, despite facing a £49 million spending cap this summer as a result of the fine handed to them by Uefa following Financial Fair Play transgressions last year.

That has prompted a rethink in City's transfer strategy, with the club now considering a cut-price move for a defender to free up cash to spend on Sanchez after having already signed Porto midfielder Fernando for £12m.

Porto centre-back Eliaquim Mangala is still very much in the Premier League champions' thoughts, while they also weighed up a £25m move for Roma's Mehdi Benatia.

But manager Mauricio Pellegrini believes a move for Davide Astori, the 27-year-old Cagliari and Italy centre-back, for around £6m could supplement the free transfer of Bacary Sagna and make more financial sense allied with a move for Sanchez.

And with Pellegrini currently in Brazil working for television station TV Chile and based close to the national team's hotel, he could be ready to use his privileged access if given the green light by Barca.

The future of Yaya Toure could also play a part in any bid for Sanchez, with the Ivorian's future up in the air at Eastlands.

Yaya has claimed City did not allow him time away from a club trip to Abu Dhabi following the end of the season to be by the side of his brother Ibrahim, who died of cancer earlier in June.

Toure's advisor, Dimitri Seluk, also suggested the midfielder was unhappy with the club's failure to acknowledge his birthday, and talks between the club and player have been scheduled after the 31-year-old takes a three-week break following his involvement in the World Cup with the Ivory Coast.

And should Barcelona consider a swap involving Suarez and Yaya Toure, the wheels of a move could be greased more swiftly.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United could all provide serious competition for the 25-year-old's signature, though, with all three ready to meet the asking price of around £32m.

With a quartet of big Premier League sides interested, and Juventus also in the hunt, Sanchez could be involved in the key transfer saga of the summer.

Whaaaaaat?

not bad i guess...we were going to get at maximum about 35 million for him.

In the last couple of years, two of the biggest transfer sagas here on Bluemoon have been Alexis Sanchez and Eden Hazard. If both were available and with no restrictions on our transfer budget, which player would be a better fit on our existing team right now. My choice is Sanchez. Pace, power, attacks the goal with more gusto, and I enjoy his control with the ball at his feet (though Hazard is equally if not better with his ball control). Which player helps us get to the next level quicker..........

I'd go with Hazard:
1. Younger
2. Knows the PL
3. Predominantly plays on the left side though can play behind striker or on the right on occasion. We have pace on the right wing in Navas but not on the left
4. A future Ballon'dor candidate.

It has become the player with more suitors. Everyone wants the Chilean Alexis Sanchez and today from the Premier comes the last club entering the struggle to gain his services. Specifically, says the Manchester City of the Chilean Pellegrini wants his countryman. He has already managed to capture however he wanted, Willy Caballero, and now intends to Barca, but is for a more offensive position because as far right has the Spanish Jesús Navas.

Barca want navas for sanchez?

I really hope we get him but my feeling from his coach's comments is that he want to play centrally. I don't think that's going to happen at City, United, or Juventus. Wenger might see a CF in him, Liverpool might want him in the Suarez role. But i doubt if he chooses the latter.

All Manuel has to do is to convince him that he won't be shackled like he was at Barca, he will have lots of freedom to express himself and I think he will be interested. We need to target the player, not charm the club.
