Transfer News: Where could Alexis Sanchez go next?


The transfer market is open and this summer could see a merry-go-round of big names, hoping to impress in a World Cup year.

We’ve had a look at some of the players in question and have assessed where they could be playing their football next season.

To Stay at Arsenal

If reports are to be believed, the Arsenal board are preparing to hand Sanchez a bumper new contract which will see him earn Champions League money, despite not playing for a Champions League club. Whether that’s enough to keep their star player is another question, considering his desire to win trophies.

Betting Odds:    1/1

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is a known admirer of Sanchez and bought the Chilean to the Camp Nou while he was in charge of Barcelona. City would be able to match his salary expectations, while also providing Champions League football and they look more likely to compete for trophies than the Gunners. Talk of a straight swap between Sanchez and Sergio Aguero is unlikely to amount to anything.

Betting Odds:    33/20

Bayern Munich

Fellow international teammate Arturo Vidal has urged Sanchez to join him at Bayern. The Bavarian giants would be almost guaranteed to offer him the opportunity to win trophies, considering their imperious status in the Bundesliga, while they also regularly compete in the latter stages of the Champions League. Furthermore, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are in the latter stages of their careers and Sanchez would be seen as a ready-made replacement for either player.

Betting Odds:    3/1

Chelsea

This move would appear to be exceptionally unlikely considering the rivalry between the two sides, but that doesn’t mean its possibility can be discounted. Eden Hazard would likely be the key to this deal. If the Belgian were to leave the Blues, then Sanchez would be the ideal replacement, but it seems unlikely. If Sanchez were to join Chelsea, just imagine the uproar on Arsenal Fan TV!

Betting Odds:    14/1

Juventus

Juventus were interested in Sanchez earlier in the summer, but their interest in the Chilean seems to have cooled. They signed Juan Cuadrado on a permanent deal following on from a successful loan spell and he seems to be the winger that they’ve put their faith in.

Betting Odds:    33/1
