Bayern Munich adamant that Alexis Sanchez won’t be joining them this summer

Jul 19, 2017

WHO knows where the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga will end.

But one thing is for sure, he’s not going to Bayern Munich.

That’s because according to Bayern’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge a deal makes “no sense.”

At one stage the German champions were keen on the Arsenal star.

But Rummenigge confirmed: “I don’t know what [Sanchez] has said but we are no longer involved.

“We are in agreement with the coach [Carlo Ancelotti] and we won’t be doing another deal for an attacker. That makes no sense.”

Sanchez has told Arsenal he wants Champions League football – something the Gunners obviously can’t provide.

They in turn insist the Chilean striker is staying put and have offered him £275,000-a-week.

Sanchez has one year left on his current contract and talks over an extension have been problematical with the player demanding £300,000 a week.

It could be that Sanchez is prepared to force his way out of the Emirates, especially with Manchester City keen to sign him.

Arsenal are currently on a pre-season tour of China playing two matches.

But Sanchez is not there and has flown off on holiday with his family having been given an extended summer break after the Confederations Cup.

He has actually hinted that he knows where his future lies – but is keeping that news close to his chest.

Bayern and Arsenal faced each other in the International Champions tournament on Wednesday at the Shanghai Stadium.

Just for a change, an English team put one over a German side from the penalty spot with Arsenal winning 3-2 on spot kicks.
