Arsenal star not interested in joining Chelsea... but is open to Man Utd or Man City move

ALEXIS SANCHEZ has no desire to leave Arsenal for Chelsea in the summer.

 

Alexis Sanchez is not interested in a move to Chelsea

 

The Blues have been linked with a shock move for Sanchez, with potential Guus Hiddink replacement Jorge Sampaoli apparently keen to sign the 27-year-old should he take charge at Stamford Bridge.

Sampaoli has worked with Sanchez for the past four years as manager of the Chile national side, winning the Copa America together last year.

However, Spanish sports magazine Don Balon claim the former Barcelona forward will knock back any approach from the reigning Premier League champions.

 

Chelsea look increasingly likely to miss out on Champions League football next season as they sit 14th in the table, and Sanchez is not prepared to drop out of Europe's elite competition.

Sanchez is also reluctant to join one of Arsenal's London rivals, but would reportedly consider a move to either Manchester United or Manchester City.

Don Balon add that Sanchez is open to the idea of again working with Pep Guardiola, who he is said to consider to be the best coach in the world.

 

Pep Guardiola could tempt Alexis Sanchez to leave Arsenal in the summer

 

Guardiola, who signed Sanchez in 2011 during his time at Barcelona, has revealed he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season for a Premier League club.

Both United and City are keen on securing Guardiola's services in the summer, which could tempt Sanchez to move after just two years in north London.

Sanchez arrived at the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2014 for £35million and has gone on to score 34 goals and assist 18 in 72 appearances.
