Alexis Sanchez has agreed to sign for Manchester City next summer when his current Arsenal contract would have expired, but he may be moving to the Etihad this month.
According to Sun Sport, the injury to Gabriel Jesus has made Pep Guardiola consider making his move for Sanchez now.
The Cityzens came close to signing Alexis Sanchez last summer, and already had a contract offer over in Chile on the final day of the transfer, but Arsenal’s failure to land Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco made them decide against selling, even though they risked losing him for free.
The Chilean has told the Gunners he would not sign a new deal, and he is set to leave for free after six months.
However, with the news that Gabriel Jesus would be out with injury for two months, Guardiola feels he needs cover for the Brazilian attacker and Sanchez is a like for like replacement.
Guardiola signed Sanchez for Barcelona when he managed the Catalans and the duo are eager to be reunited again.
Sanchez has been targetted by PSG and Bayern Munich in the past, but his insistence that he wants to move only to the Etihad has seen other suitors move on to their other targets.
