Arsenal Football Club have had a £32million bid accepted from FC Barcelona for winger Alexis Sanchez, according to numerous reports.
The Gunners have been showing interest in the Chilean since the beginning of the World Cup, and with Barca willing to sell in order to raise funds for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, it now appears a move will be completed within the next fortnight.
Sanchez, who impressed for Chile in Brazil, was wanted by Liverpool and Manchester United as well, but he reportedly wanted to move to London and has always favoured a switch to the Emirates Stadium rather than elsewhere.
Reports even suggested that Liverpool were prepared to offer £130k-a-week to Sanchez in order for him to reject Arsenal and move to Anfield instead, but it’s now believed that formal talks between Arsenal and Sanchez will take place in the next 48-hours.
It’s believed no announcements will be made until after the 10th July, which is when Arsenal launch their new kit.
