Arsenal transfer news: Alexis Sanchez in Juventus’ sights as Italian club chiefs plan audacious summer bid

JUVENTUS chiefs have agreed to push ahead with a summer bid for disgruntled Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.

Reports in Italy claim that Juve supremo Beppe Marotta is keen to return for the Gunners ace after failing with a bid last summer.

Sanchez’s Emirates future is up in the air as his contract winds down and this could be his final season in the Premier League.

Arsenal’s title challenge is effectively over after losing to Chelsea last weekend while they face a tough test in the Champions League against Bayern Munich next week.

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger’s time in north London could be up this year and claims Juve feel the time is right to bring Sanchez to Turin.

However, Chinese-owned rivals Inter Milan are also interested and will look to match any bid made by Juve.

The duo are currently locked in a bitter war of words following last weekend’s controversial Serie A clash and their battle could now extend into the next transfer window.

But Arsenal fans will be hoping the club can still convince Sanchez to agree a new deal as they also sweat over the future of Mesut Ozil.

The German has less than 18 months to run on his contract as well, and has been linked with Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
