Arsenal hijack Liverpool's Alexis Sanchez deal but Barcelona want more than £22m
ARSENAL have bid £22million for Barcelona striker Alexis Sanchez.
Liverpool are also interested in the Chile striker, but Sanchez is unhappy about being a makeweight in Barcelona’s bid to sign Luis Suarez and prefers a move to the Emirates.
Barcelona want £32m for Sanchez and Arsenal will have to go higher than their initial bid to sign him.
Wenger will meet Sanchez’s agent in Brazil this week to try to convince him to move to London and the player will be looking to earn close to the £140,000 a week that Arsenal pay Mesut Ozil – and this could prove a stumbling block.
