Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is trying to push through a £50m transfer for Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.

City players have openly discussed the potential arrival of the Chilean as Guardiola tries to push through a £50m deal for the Chile striker.

There is an anticipation within the team that Sanchez will head to the Etihad Stadium this summer transfer window, with some wondering where that leaves the current strikers in the squad.

The former Barcelona manager is determined to add more firepower to his forward line and has pursued the Chilean and Kylian Mbappe throughout this summer window.

Mbappe’s £100m-plus asking price and Real Madrid’s interest in him has always made the Arsenal forward the more attainable target in the eyes of City’s Chief – even if they have steadfastly refused to withdraw from the race for the Monaco teenage sensation.

The North London club are adamant they will not sell their star striker, despite his refusal to extend his contract.

Sanchez, 28, has entered the final year of his contract at the Emirates and can leave on a free next summer.

While the Gunners insist they are prepared to gamble on Sanchez walking away for free, the hope at Manchester City is that they will buckle before the summer transfer window closes at the end of August.

Pep Guardiola already has Argentine Sergio Aguero and Brazilian Gabriel Jesus up front, but has made the top class forward one of his priorities after bemoaning City’s wastefulness in front of goal last season.
