Sanchez is reportedly keen on a move to Manchester City, but Arsenal would prefer to sell their talisman to Bayern Munich, who are also interested.

The 28-year-old was set to be a key player for Chile in Group B at the Confederations Cup, where they will face Germany and Australia.

Sanchez's future is set to be decided once his business with Chile has finished this summer.

Over the course of last season, Sanchez proved to be a key player for Arsenal and made 50 appearances, scoring 30 goals.

But there are fears at the Emirates that they may lose their star player, as he is yet to commit his long-term future at Arsenal with just a year remaining on his contract.

SunSport exclusively revealed Arsenal had a £17.6million bid for Juan Cuadrado rejected by Juventus - as Wenger is preparing for life without Sanchez.
