Italian Giants Offer Arsenal A Solution For Alexis Sanchez Problem!!

Could Arsene Wenger conclude the saga of Alexis Sanchez’s new contract with a swap deal?

It may seem unlikely but that is the theory published by TuttoSport, the Italian newspaper, which ran the story on its front page on Tuesday.

The theory goes that Miralem Pjanic, the Bosnia midfielder, has fallen in stature at Juventus, behind Paulo Dybala and the club’s record signing, striker Gonzalo Higuain, and could be exchanged for Sanchez.

Sanchez, 28, is coming into the final year and a half of his current Arsenal contract, but Wenger must deal with that situation and that of Mesut Ozil, whose current deal is also winding down.

Swap deals for major transfers are rare, and it is extremely likely that Arsenal would want a full fee for Sanchez. Pjanic is also similar enough a player to Ozil to play in the same team simultaneously.

Until Sanchez signs a new contract, though, these kinds of reports will continue to swirl around him.

Every now and again a club faces a big problem and that big problem for Arsenal right now is Alexis Sanchez’s contract situation.

He’s their best player, the one every club would want. His work ethic is second to none, too. Last week, he got criticism for showing his frustration when he was substituted but that just summed up how much of a winner he is, how much he wants to play.

The problem Arsenal have is he’ll know his market value – and he’s reportedly received some big financial offers from China.

He’ll also know there’s interest from other Premier League clubs, as well as the major teams in Europe because he’s only got 18 months remaining on his contract. Apart from Barcelona, there’s no team he wouldn’t get into.

Arsenal can’t afford to lose him. On the pitch, he’s their top scorer. Their talisman. But off the field, his departure would also send out the wrong message to players Arsenal are trying to sign.

They want to come to the club because it’s one of the best in the world but also because of players such as Sanchez who are there.

His exit would give players like Mesut Ozil reason to question whether the club is going in the right direction, too – and an excuse to consider their own future.
