Alexis is demanding £420,000-a-week from Bayern Munich, who have a growing belief that he is trying to force a move to City. [Sunday Mirror]

Good.Keep it going young man.
He would be a dream signing. Maybe pep is a decisive factor despite him surely knowing there is a lot of competitin for a attacking spot. I would have thought if he wanted to stay in England, Chelsea would be more attractive given he gets to stay in London

I'm enjoying the narrative by the rag and London press that he wants obscene amounts of money and won't join Bayern for less than a King's ransom.

Think this will be the biggest saga of the summer. Hoping we get it done, can't see anyway in which Arsenal will reject over £50m though.

Gundogan is not a defensive midfielder and we have as much chance of playing him there as KDB.
Fernandinho is a huge asset to the squad and will not be sold. A lot of players appear to lose form while learning the Pep way. Fernandinho has been taken out of his comfort zone and will be a better player for it this coming season.
Yaya has made the pivot role his own because he is the best passer and reads the game better than anyone else we have in the squad. Imho.
Back on topic looks like Sanchez and his agent are playing a very canny game and he will be a City player before pre season starts.

I would just like to note how no oppo fans seem happy to note he is angling for the move to us...OVER Bayern Munich. How many clubs really have that power and pull? if Bayern appealed to him, just a hint of it and the press would be shitting on us and laughing 'Big Bayern Bounce City' or some shite.
I think it deserves noting as the press don't seem keen on highlighting it.

I've thought exactly the same thing pal. Coming to city over Bayern...and for less wages. We all know what the press think of us and they don't even try and hide it. That's why it'll taste even sweeter when Alexis rocks up here tears the league apart and we win the league next season.

Less wages ???
He's pricing himself out of the Bayern move so tells them I want £420k a week knowing full well they won't pay it hence arsenal don't get the sale they want. He won't be asking that from city imo. Why price your way out of the move you want?

You'll soon find out how far we've come.
All depends on how you want to look at it. A world class player is basically saying I wouldn't even want to play for Bayern for £420k a week cos I want to play that much for City. He won't be asking that much wages from city. Considering when we got taken over the press and opposing fans said top players only went to city for the cash, it makes me feel good the tables have turned.
We know from club's reports and accounts for 2015/16 that Arsenal's wage bill was £195m and City's was £198m.
Arsenal have reportedly offered Sanchez £270k per week. He is highly unlikely to get a basic offer as high as that from City.
His final contract is going to be more about where he is playing football as his career ends. It' does look like he wants that to be at City otherwise he would have signed the extension at Arsenal, or done a deal with Bayern, but he might not get what he wants. That depends on how Arsenal respond. It's going to be a game of bluff.

Fingers crossed sounding good. Let's hope it's not just being done to get bigger contract from else where
It's beautiful isn't it? Time and time again we had targetted world class players but for some reason it didn't happen. Its different now. See people look at last season and say Pep is shit but they don't realize he's cooking up something that will not only shake England but rock up the entire world of soccer. Apart from his unrivalled footall knowledge he's got a big big draw. Enjoy the ride fellas.
