Reports emanating from Spain claim Spanish La Liga giant Real Madrid have joined the race to secure the services of Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez in the winter transfer window in January, as reported by The Mirror.
As we approach the next transfer window in the New Year, this transfer speculation won’t go away anytime soon.
The future of Chilean Alexis Sanchez is one of the big uncertainties at the club right now, with the former Barcelona star having only seven months left on his Arsenal contract.
The attacker came close to a transfer to English Premier League side Manchester City on transfer deadline day last summer but that failed to materialize and now, many Arsenal fans are wondering if the Chilean could leave in January.
City boss Pep Guardiola would undoubtedly be interested in signing Alexis Sanchez when the next transfer window opens up in six weeks time but he could face stiff competition.
Spanish outlet, Mundo Deportivo reports that the La Liga champions could be keen on making an approach for Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez signed for Arsenal from Real Madrid’s fiercest rivals, FC Barcelona in 2015 but, of course, the forward wouldn’t be the first player to feature for both side. The Arsenal contract rebel showed his importance to the Gunners over the weekend but if he is not signing a new deal at the North London club then a New Year sale looks like the best option for both parties.
