5 talking points from the 'Alexis Sanchez to Manchester' transfer saga

Arsenal v Chelsea - Premier League
What does the future hold for Alexis Sanchez?

#4 Manchester City's perspective

Arsenal v Barcelona - UEFA Champions League
Guardiola still rates Sanchez very highly and has wanted him at City since last summer

Pep Guardiola’s men have been performing like a marauding juggernaut, unbeaten in the Premier League. But the fact is that Alexis still wants to work under the Spanish gaffer once again after the duo’s time together at Barcelona was cut short when he moved to Arsenal in 2014.

Moreover, Sanchez will not be cup-tied, meaning that he will be able to play in the Champions League for City. City are already considered to be one of the favourites for the highest trophy on offer this season, and Sanchez’s acquisition will only cement that thought.

This deal is a no-brainer for Guardiola, but Manchester City are reportedly not willing to match Arsenal's evaluation of the player, as per reports from the Independent.
