da bwin： As reported by The Express, Arsene Wenger is ready to end Alexis Sanchez’s Arsenal career given the Chilean striker’s extreme wage demands at the Emirates.
What’s the story?
da esport bet： Sanchez is having one of his best seasons in Arsenal shirt, at some points dragging the Gunners forward on his own. However, that contribution may not be enough to convince the Arsenal boss that he’s worth what he’s after financially.
The Express reckon the Chilean is looking for a massive £400k-a-week in wages, more than tripling his current £130k-a-week deal.
As quoted by The Express, Wenger said:
We always had a wages schedule that was respected but players earn so much money now that the cases have become much more individual than global. Some people tell me ‘just give him what he wants’. But then you cannot respect any wage structure any more – and you put the club in trouble. You have to make the decision in an objective way.
It certainly appears as if the relationship between the player and club is strained right now, with Wenger unwilling to match the demands for the good of Arsenal as a whole.
However, that could mean they end up selling their best player and with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City said to be interested, that could be disastrous for any Premier League ambitions they have next season.
How important is he?
A happy, in-form Alexis Sanchez is something almost any club in the world would appreciate given his quality in the final third and his ruthlessness in front of goal. Scoring 22 goals and assisting another 12, he’s been the Gunners most important player this season.
However, in the second half of the season he’s been less prolific and has now gone three matches without putting the ball in the back of the net. He hasn’t scored in a Premier League match Arsenal have won since way back in February.
If he truly is unhappy at the club and forcing unrealistic wage demands then selling him may be the best case scenario, as long as Arsenal can ensure he ends up on foreign shores and in an ideal world, potentially away from any clubs the Gunners may face in UEFA competition.
Is touting him to China something the club should now be pro-actively doing?
