Manchester City will also offer defender Jason Denayer as part of Sanchez deal
The Chilean has a year left on this Emirates deal – with little chance he will be in North London beyond next summer.
The Gunners, fresh from a disastrous showing at Liverpool on Sunday, have already rejected a £50m bid from City for Sanchez, who’s seeking a reunion with former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola at the Etihad.
The contract rebel sat on the bench smiling as he watched his team-mates being humiliated by Liverpool, leaving the Gunners 16th in the Premier League.
In the current climate £70million for wantaway Sanchez and Denayer could be good business for Arsenal and under-fire boss Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal’s top scorer last term made it clear earlier in the summer he wants to play in the Champions League, something not on offer at the Emirates this season.
