Manchester City are ready to make a £60m move for Alexis Sanchez

Man City boss Pep Guardiola is desperate to secure the services of the Chilean before the summer transfer window closes at the end of the month.

However, according to the Telegraph, it won’t hold back league rivals Man City to make a last-ditch attempt to tempt Arsenal to sell their prized asset… and are willing to offer Sanchez a mammoth £400,000-a-week wage packet to join the Etihad this summer.
