Transfer News: Chelsea ready to hijack Alexis Sanchez deal
Another twist has been added to the transfer saga involving Arsenal wantaway striker, Alexis Sanchez as it is been reported that Chelsea have entered the race to hijack the Chilean from their Premier League rivals.
Manchester City were initially the firm favourites
to land Sanchez but there was a twist when Manchester United entered into the frail with the offer of more money and adding Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a makeweight to help them to match Arsenal's £35m valuation of Sanchez.
Now another twist has been handed as Chelsea are believed to be also prepared to meet Sanchez's demand for a signing-on fee of up to £20m in addition to footing a potential £10m bill for the striker's agent, Fernando Felicevich, which would value the overall deal at £65m for a 29-year-old who is out of contract at the end of the season.
That figure does not include the reputed £400,000-a-week wages, including bonuses, that would make Sanchez the highest-paid player in the Premier League.
United remain the front-runners but they face competition from Chelsea, who have yet to be deterred by the huge costs involved in trying to sign Sanchez.
