Arsenal finally open talk with Manchester City over Alexis Sanchez sale

Manchester City and Arsenal have finally opened talks over a deal for Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had refused to welcome any offer for the Chilean all summer but talks are underway and a deal is being hammered out according Goal UK.

The Chilean forward remains determined to join City and the Gunners are now receptive to the idea of selling the Chilean, having previously refused to entertain any offers throughout the summer.

Raheem Sterling is one of several options that have been mooted during negotiations between the two clubs in the past 48 hours, though Goal understands it is the Gunners who have pushed for his inclusion.

There have also been reports elsewhere in the media that the Gunners have floated the idea of including Sergio Aguero in the deal, though sources close to the player insist the Argentine has no desire to make the move.

Alexis has long agreed personal terms with Manchester City.
