Alexis Sanchez has been in the news recently due to his links with Manchester United, and many United fans are silently praying the Chilean should move over to Old Trafford before the closure of the ongoing winter transfer window.
However, there are some recent claims that the club will drop interest in two of their long-term targets if Sanchez eventually joins Manchester United this month.
Sanchez, who has entered the final six months of his current contract at Arsenal, has refused to put pen on paper for a new deal with the gunners to extend his stay at the club.
The former Barcelona man was close to reuniting with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City last summer, but Arsenal closed the door since they couldn’t bring Thomas Lemar to North London from Monaco.
Despite having one of the best attacks right now in the world, Pep Guardiola is still interested in signing Alexis, but his side are reportedly not willing to pay Arsenal the £35million they were demanding for the player.
Manchester United are now favourites to get the Chilean star, but according to reports, manager Jose Mourinho will drop the thought of signing Antoine Griezmann and Gareth Bale if they achieve success signing Sanchez this month.
