Alexis Sanchez urged to quit Arsenal and move to Premier League rivals
Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is hoping Alexis Sanchez will quit Arsenal for the Citizens this summer
Claudio Bravo has admitted that he would love to have Alexis Sanchez as a team-mate at Manchester City.
The Arsenal forward’s future has been a source of relentless speculation in the summer transfer window so far after Sanchez failed to agree a contract extension last season.
The Gunners are still hopeful of reaching an agreement with the 28-year-old, but Sanchez has also been linked with a potential move away from The Emirates with less than 12 months remaining on his current deal.
Arsenal’s Premier League rivals Manchester City have been linked with a sensational swoop to sign the Chile forward as Pep Guardiola looks to reunite with his former Barcelona forward.
Of course, the Gunners do have a record of selling their best players to Manchester City, including Emmanuel Adebayor, Samir Nasri, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy.
Chile and Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo risked the wrath of Arsenal fans after the shot stopper admitted that he would love to see Sanchez secure a move to the Etihad Stadium.
“It’s great to see him growing as a player,” Bravo is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
“Of course, I would love to have him as a teammate. But it’s not a matter just for the two of us. It’s something the clubs have to go through.”
Sanchez scored 24 times in 37 games in the Premier League last season.
Bravo was Chile’s hero in a penalty shootout victory over Portugal in the Confederations Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
