Sanchez is wanted by the German side in a big-money deal this summer.

The Chilean has just a year left on his contract at the Emirates and Bayern want to bring his stay in London to an early end.

But a switch to Munich isn’t proving easy to pull off.

German football expert Raphael Honigstein says Bayern are finding it tricky to get the Arsenal star.

"I can tell you Bayern Munich are still struggling to get an agreement with him," he said on ESPN FC.

"He's asked for a lot of money which on its own Bayern could pay but they are worried about the knock-on affect on the wage structure.

"It's a very sensitive issue as you know in football, if someone comes in and earns more than the regulars, then everyone comes and aren't very happy.

"Plus the possibly of paying a huge, inflated fee for someone who only has one year left on his contract.

"The noises out of Munich, and I spoke to somebody there today, is that it's very complicated, verging on, I wouldn't say impossible, but at the moment they are not as comfortable as they maybe were a couple of weeks ago."

Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri reported today that Manchester City will bid £53m (€60m) for Sanchez.

The attacking ace is currently on international duty with Chile ahead of their Confederations Cup campaign in Russia this summer.
