Juventus line up move for unsettled Arsenal star

 

Juventus are ready to launch a huge summer bid to land Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez, according to The Daily Mirror.

 

Sanchez, 28, will have 12 months left to run on his existing deal with Arsenal and is stalling on a new contract with the club so far unwilling to meet his wage demands.

 

The Chile international reportedly wants to earn in excess of £200,000-a-week and Arsenal could be forced to cash in on their No.7 should he fail to agree new terms by the summer.

 

Sanchez would not be short of suitors should he become available at the end of the season and Juventus are already preparing to make their move for the former Barcelona forward with weekly wages of £250,000-a-week.

 

The Chilean made his name in Serie A during a five-year stint with Udinese before earning a big money move to Barcelona and Arsenal would rather sell the forward abroad than to a Premier League rival.

Only Romelu Lukaku (16), another Juventus target, has scored more goals in the Premier League this season than Sanchez (15), while he is also the joint highest rated player in the division (7.85 rating).

 

Furthermore, Sanchez has scored or assisted in 12 of his last 14 appearances for Arsenal.
