Good evening. Arsenal fan here. I'd gladly let him leave for free next year (IF the article is true). Although I'd guess, these figures were probably set only to agitate a move away from Arsenal. Out of pure interest: would you support City paying them for Alexis?
Hello Ari. Knowledgeable posters are always welcome!
Do you think Sanchez staying at Arsenal will determine whether or not the club finishes in the top four next season?

Gladly let him leave next year for free? What if he signs for Spurs or Chelsea for free. Then In hindsight that £55m from City the year before wouldn't have seemed so bad then.

Thank you Asa.
And no, not necessarily. I'm a romantic, I think good team play goes a long way. I didn't like when Alexis left the stadium after being subbed during last campaign. There were a few more incidents like that. I guess those moments were the beginning of the end.
Last year we were too reliable on him. If we can change that during the transfer period by buying replacements or during preseason through adjusted tactical setup we should be able to live without him.

I think Alexis Sanchez has the Latin temperament that is often misinterpreted by us anglo-saxons. Storming out of the stadium may be frowned upon by us ... but in south america it may be normal.
Arsenal try to play good football and don't always get the results they deserve.
My gut feeling is that Alexis wants to work with Pep again ... but will wait until January to join.

I'd rather have him at Arsenal another season, bring in some quality replacements now and have them settled fully by the time Alexis leaves.
Also he will come back from yet another summer tournament then, playing without a proper break for more or less 4 or 5 years.
Most important: he's free to choose his destination then. If he wants to be a **** about it and join Spurs, then he's just a **** who's back I'll be happy to see. If he really wants to be at City and and joins you on a free next year after giving his all for another year, fair play to him.
That sounds fine now, but do you think the rumours are going to stop as soon as the season starts? For maybe a couple of months and then it will be extremely unsettling. There'll be non-stop speculation, questions about his commitment. It could be a massive distraction in a season where Arsenal must get their top 4 place back. Ifyou don't return to top 4 next season, I think you could rapidly fade away. Manager will be gone and all your special players: sanchez, Giroud, Cazorla and OzilI'd rather have him at Arsenal another season, bring in some quality replacements now and have them settled fully by the time Alexis leaves.

He cant join in January, only foreign clubs can negotiate with him in January. With a view to joining next season

From an Arsenal point of view, this is the best outcome.
He'll be nearing 30 and losing the extra yard of pace that he relies on, in that time maybe a Mahrez or Lemar can step up and be ready to replace him, no one can replace him this summer.

Valid point. So for City, it's pay now or get him for nothing in one year.
It is up to Arsenal to decide if they want to gamble.

He ll probably have his best season for us knowing hes leaving on a free. I get the feeling thats what he really wants.

In a year's time, without a fee to pay, it wont just be city after him. If he pockets the 50m himself and 200k a week, thats over 400k a week in wages, so I can see why hed want to run his contract down.

He surely will not pocket 50 million in sign-on fee in a years time. In fact why do you think he will pocket more in sign on fee next year compared to this summer? I don't see there is any difference money-wise for Sanchez staying. The main difference is he will not play Champions League if he stays ...In a year's time, without a fee to pay, it wont just be city after him.

Pockets the 50m himself? Why would that happen?

because there will be a clamour for his signature,so he will go to the highest bidder, with the way prices are, 50m and 200k a week for Sanchez is still cheap. He obviously has a very bright agent who knows exactly how much hes worth. It makes no sense for him to move anywhere now, I think he ll stay at Arsenal this season, because he doesnt want to go anywhere and miss out on 200k a week for the next 4 years.
Looks like there is an air of resignation in your posts.From an Arsenal point of view, this is the best outcome.

If he chooses City over the Arse he does so because he sees a far better chance of significant trophies over the period of his next contract.
He will no doubt be branded as a money grabbing twunt, which is harsh as we no longer need to pay huge wages to attract the players like Alexis. They want to come as they see a club on the up and on the verge of something very special.

This summer you have to pay Arsenal 50m, next summer youll pay it to him.
Sanchez is world class. Iheanacho is a top prospect but we need the very best now. with a buy back clause we can buy Sanchez for now and go get Iheanacho if he comes good later on. no problem IMO.
selling Iheanacho is not good for manchester city and the youth academy it sends out the wrong signal to young players they need the dream and parents need to be sold on there kids coming to manchester city. yes i know its sometimes not just about turning players out for the first team squad and we have the best setup in england at youth level to your sons got the best chances at being a pro footballer if they come to manchester city they will get the best chance and training
yes a very good fee and i hope city have a buy back clause but this lad done very well in the short space of time at manchester city and scored goals so there is nothing else other than game time in the team he needed. and this is going to look daft if sanchez signs for anything over £50million and does not hit it off or gets a long term injury yes Iheanacho could also have the same deal at leicester city it could go both ways but l never like us sell our best youth players
A huge part of Sanchez's game is his drive. He's always asking more of his team mates. He demands the ball, and demands his team mates give their best.
But the clock is now running down on his Arsenal career. The relationship has changed forever. How can he demand more for the Arsenal when his commitment has gone?

I think he will get a nice pay day if he left on a free, but nothing like £50m + his wages.
