Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal's No.7 star, the absolute thigh of the Gunners.

The 29-year-old Chilean striker is full of honors.

After debuting in a Chilean domestic club for two years, he was spotted by the Serie A team Udinese and brought to Europe.

It took only three years for him to prove his worth in Serie A.

In the summer of 2011, he became part of Barca.

In the past few seasons at Barcelona, in the star-studded squad, he has shown amazing strength, although he is only in rotation.

In 2014, he moved to Arsenal in search of a regular position.

Arsenal, which has always been cautious in investing, spent a high price of 42.5 million euros for him.

And it was only in a few seasons at Arsenal that he really grew.

Last season, in particular, he made 38 appearances, scored 24 goals and also had 10 assists.

It's definitely the level of the Premier League's top strikers.

Having turned the tide for Arsenal many times, he is definitely the Gunners' thigh.

At the beginning of this season, there were rumors through the grapevine that he had plans to leave the team.

And Manchester City also made a public bid of 50 million euros to sign him.

Pep Guardiola has also expressed his affection for Sanchez in public on several occasions.

But Arsene Wenger refused.

He doesn't want his number one star to join a rival.

At the same time, Arsenal have also stepped up the pace of renewing Sanchez's contract.

With one year left on his contract, Arsenal have offered Sanchez a whopping £300,000 a week.

This is already the top salary in the Premier League.

Sanchez disagreed, however, and demanded £400,000 a week. If it is not reached, an interview is conducted.

This is a big headache for Arsene Wenger.

For a 29-year-old veteran, such a high price, the Arsenal management will never allow this to happen.

In the end, Sanchez failed to transfer and left, and the contract extension did not go ahead.

In this case, Sanchez's situation is delicate.

Next summer, he will be free to transfer, not to mention Manchester City's 50 million euro transfer fee, Arsenal will not even get a wool.

So far this season, Alexis Sanchez has made 16 appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists.

It's a world away from last season.

The Chilean is clearly out of his mind at Arsenal.

In this case, Woodward is already considering the possibility of making a move.

Even without Ibrahimovic's injury and Mourinho's request, Sandezi has been keeping an eye on it.

Now it is just as Mourinho wants to buy a striker, and Sanchez is a good choice.

Sandezi doesn't know so much about football, but he understands business.

He is well aware of the commercial value of Arsenal's thighs, and if this transfer is completed, it will definitely help Manchester United to increase its commercial value.

Just like his strong advocacy for the return of Pogba, it directly drove the club's advertising revenue and broadcast revenue share.

With this level of improvement, it will soon be possible to earn back the transfer fee invested.

But after hearing Woodward's words, Mourinho did not answer.

He thought twice and asked in a low voice: "Ed, you tell me the truth, is this transfer something you have already studied?" ”

"It's ......," Woodward replied for a moment, but honestly, "yes, we've been tracking his situation, we've been thinking about it since Pep Guardiola made the bid." If Arsenal had agreed, we might have just followed the price and held down Manchester City. ”

"But haven't you thought about my needs, the needs of the team?"

"Is there anything special to consider about this? Isn't Sanchez strong? Is he not worthy of Manchester United? I think he's better than Lukaku, is there anything wrong with buying him? ”

"He doesn't match my tactical requirements as well."

Hearing Mourinho's words, Woodward was obviously a little unhappy: "Jose, you have a character, I like it very much, after all, excellent people have character." But it's not good to be too picky. How does Alexis Sanchez compare to the players on your list? I even think better! And digging him up, it also directly weakened the strength of competitors! And he only has half a year left on his contract, and if the renewal is fruitless, Arsenal must hope to sell him this winter, and the transfer fee will not be high, it must be very easy to do! And his joining is also a good thing for the club's business practices! Why don't you kill four birds with one stone? ”

Woodward's words were fine, Mourinho was silent for a while.

After all, the team's tactical arrangement is not clear to Woodward.

And Mourinho also understands that it will be too difficult to buy the right person this winter.

Alexis Sanchez can't be said to be a bad signing.

"Well, I still hope you can talk to me about the strikers on the list, I want them more. If that doesn't work, consider your suggestion again......"

"That's right! That's it, I'll tell you when you get the result! Sanchez is just my lower limit, it's best for me to buy the strikers on your list, and I will bring Sanchez to you at the last time, so you can rest assured in the second half of the season! ”

Hanging up, Woodward sneered.

Don't worry, I won't think about anyone else.

After half a season, I'm definitely going to poach Sanchez.

Wait for the Chilean striker!

Mourinho, who also hung up the phone, sighed softly.

How could he not know what Woodward was thinking?

It's definitely Sanchez.

Not wanting Sanchez to join the team, Mourinho has two things to consider.

First, Sanchez's style of play is too unique, this type of striker is not his tactical need.

He wants the type of Didier Drogba of Warcraft, strikers such as Diego Milito and Benzema, all of which he likes.

That's why he's only interested in Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata this summer.

And Sanchez demands the ball too much, which will inevitably affect the team's offensive efficiency.

In Mourinho's tactics, the main ball must be in the midfield.

He used to have Frank Lampard, Sneijder, now he has a summer walk, or Pogba.

The midfielder controls the ball and the team has a bigger picture.

If Alexis Sanchez joins the team, it will be difficult for him to change his style of play.

After all, it is a world-class star invited at a high price, and the former Arsenal thigh.

If it is not handled well, it will definitely affect the team's tactics.

Second, What about Sanchez's salary?

Now Manchester United's salary is already inflated, and Pogba's high salary makes it difficult for Mourinho to manage.

Alexis Sanchez wants £400,000 a week at Arsenal, which is impossible at Manchester United.

If Woodward offered him that price, what about the other United players?

Pogba must have been the first to make a fuss.

And Xia Xing, even if he doesn't take the initiative to say it, Mendes will talk to me about it.

There are also Lukaku and De Gea, who are the absolute main force of the team, do they all have to raise their salaries?

If this matter is not handled well in the end, then it must be a moment of explosion in the dressing room......

But don't want Sanchez, where can I find a striker of this grade this winter?

Jose Mourinho is in a dilemma right now...... (End of chapter)
