Arsenal star ready to make big sacrifice to leave in January

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez is allegedly set to pay a £25m signing-on fee to make sure he completes his move to Manchester City this window.

The Chile international forward is coming to the end of his Arsenal contract, but look eager to wait no longer to leave as he hopes a winter deal can be sealed.

Despite the Gunners not being ready to offload until they sign a replacement, the Chilean is thought to be optimistic he can link up with Manchester City this New Year and is set to make that huge personal financial sacrifice to help the transfer materialize, as per the Sun.

Alexis Sanchez, 29, would be a good signing for the Etihad giants, who seem a little weak up front after losing Brazil international forward Gabriel Jesus to injury.

Considering the Pep Guardiola tutored team’s potential to compete in about four competitions this campaign, they’ll surely need a lot of depth to prevent burn-out from playing so brilliantly for so long.

The Arsenal contract rebel should also be somehow fresh after what seems like a run of fairly sluggish outings for the Gunners this term, with the South American star perhaps saving his strength to some extent.
